摘要
Muscle strength is frequently impaired in patients with neurological disorders. Numerous instrumented and non-instrumented options exist for measuring the strength of such patients. Such measurements are useful for clarifying patient status and documenting changes over time. Moreover the measurements are often informative of present or future function among a variety of diagnostic groups. Measurements of muscle strength are an essential component of the neurological evaluation and provide information of substantial importance to clinical care.
