Muscle analysis by measurement of maximal isometric grip force: new reference data and clinical applications in pediatrics

Pediatric Research
Frank RauchEckhard Schoenau

Abstract

Skeletal muscle development is one of the key features of childhood and adolescence. Determining maximal isometric grip force (MIGF) using a hand-held Jamar dynamometer is a simple method to quantify one aspect of muscle function. Presently available reference data present MIGF as a function of chronological age. However, muscle force is largely determined by body size, and many children undergoing muscle performance tests in the clinical setting suffer from growth retardation secondary to a chronic disorder. Reference data were established from simple regressions between age or log height and log MIGF in a population of 315 healthy children and adolescents aged 6 to 19 y (157 girls). These data were used to calculate age- or height-dependent SD scores (SDS) for MIGF in three pediatric patient groups. In renal graft recipients (n = 14), the age-dependent MIGF SDS was markedly decreased (-2.5 +/- 1.9; mean +/- SD). However, these patients had short stature (height SDS, -2.5 +/- 1.2), and the height-dependent MIGF SDS was close to normal (-0.4 +/- 1.5). Similarly, in cystic fibrosis patients (n = 13) age-dependent MIGF SDS was -1.6 +/- 1.6, but height-dependent MIGF SDS was -0.5 +/- 1.1. Children with epilepsy who were taking ant...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
