Reproductibilité de la mesure de la force et de l'endurance du quadriceps dans la BPCO

The handheld dynamometer allows an excellent inter and intra-operator reproducibility for the measurement of quadricipital maximal voluntary strength and a correct to excellent reproducibility for the measurement of quadricipital endurance. This tool may be used for the evaluation of quadriceps strength in clinical practice in COPD patients, particularly during rehabilitation.
