Abstract

BACKROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Grip and knee strength are commonly measured but controversy exists as to whether either is a proxy for the other. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to summarize the correlation between the 2 variables. METHODS: Relevant literature was sought using PubMed, Google, and a hand search. Information on populations, measurements, and correlations were extracted. Correlational data were subjected to meta-analysis. RESULTS: Results from 17 studies were consolidated. The summary correlation between grip and knee extension strength was 0.64 with 95% CI of 0.57 to 0.71. Data were highly heterogeneous but did not show publication bias. CONCLUSION: The correlation between the grip and knee extension strength is good. However, it is not good enough to justify using either as a proxy for the other.

成年人握力与伸膝力量的相关性

背景和目标：握力和膝盖力量通常是测量的，但对于其中一种是否代表另一种存在争议。本荟萃分析的目的是总结这两个变量之间的相关性。方法：使用PubMed、Google和手工搜索检索相关文献。提取了有关种群、测量和相关性的信息。相关数据进行荟萃分析。结果：合并了17项研究的结果。握力和伸膝力量之间的总相关性为0.64，95%CI为0.57至0.71。数据具有高度异质性，但未显示出发表偏倚。结论：握力与伸膝力量之间具有良好的相关性。然而，这还不足以证明使用其中一个作为另一个的代理。

期刊介绍： Isokinetics and Exercise Science (IES) is an international journal devoted to the study of theoretical and applied aspects of human muscle performance. Since isokinetic dynamometry constitutes the major tool in this area, the journal takes a particular interest in exploring the considerable potential of this technology. IES publishes studies associated with the methodology of muscle performance especially with respect to the issues of reproducibility and validity of testing, description of normal and pathological mechanical parameters which are derivable from muscle testing, applications in basic research topics such as motor learning paradigms and electromyography. The journal also publishes studies on applications in clinical settings and technical aspects of the various measurement systems employed in human muscle performance research. The journal welcomes submissions in the form of research papers, reviews, case studies and technical reports from professionals in the fields of sports medicine, orthopaedic and neurological rehabilitation and exercise physiology.
