The typical accelerating rotarod test is designed to evaluate maximal motor performance and is not optimized to detect motor skill learning.
We have evaluated maximal strength using the 1-RM technique in 3 studies of BCS (age range: 35 89 yrs) with no adverse events.
Elderly patients complaining from fatigue should be physically assessed, both evaluating maximal grip strength and fatigue resistance, allowing the calculation of grip work, which integrates both parameters.
The protocol to evaluate maximal torque production (MP35 and BSL Pro V.3.6.7, Biopac Systems Inc, Santa Barbara, USA) was performed twice in a counter-balanced order, once to evaluate the knee extensors (KE) and once to evaluate the plantar flexors (PF).
The test was performed twice (alternately with both hands), with the dynamometer adjusted to the age- and gender-specific optimal grip span, as this seems the most appropriate protocol to evaluate maximal hand grip strength in children [ 83].
It evaluates the maximal distance that a person can reach forward while maintaining a fixed base of support [13], [14].
The anticonvulsant activities of these compounds were evaluated by maximal electroshock seizure test and were also evaluated for motor impairment.
A stochastic averaging procedure is employed to evaluate the maximal Lyapunov exponent.
(i) A general framework for evaluating the maximal efficiency of the opportunistic routing principle is provided.
Lung function was evaluated with maximal respiratory flow-volume curves and body plethysmography.
