Muscle strength may be different in the legs and/or arms of patients with certain neurologic disorders. This may affect gait and other functions.
Parameters:
(1) isometric torque in stronger limb in Newton•meters
(2) isometric torque in weaker limb in Newton•meters
(3) power in the stronger limb in Watts
(4) power in the weaker limb in Watts
strength asymmetry score for isomateric torque
= (1 - ((strength on weaker side) / (strength on stronger side))) * 100%
strength asymmetry score for power
Interpretation:
• A score of 0% indicates symmetrical strength.
• A score of 100% indicates maximal asymmetry.
