The extent of a patient's impairment can be established by comparing measurements of that patient's performance with normative values obtained from apparently unimpaired individuals. Only a few studies have described normative values for muscle strength measured by hand-held dynamometry. The purpose of this study of older adults, therefore, was to obtain normative values of maximum voluntary isometric force using hand-held dynamometers.
