Abstract
The maximum isometric torque exerted about the elbow was recorded on a strain-gauge dynamometer. The angle at the elbow was either 45[degree], 90[degree] or 135[degree]. The effect of 3 different forearm positions on the force applied using either a wrist-cuff or handle was investigated on each side separately in both flexion and extension of the elbow. Significant differences were found in favor of the 90[degree] elbow position, the right or preferred side and flexion, respectively. The effect of forearm position depended upon the direction (flexion or extension) and whether the wrist-cuff or handle was used. Low positive correlation values were found between limb volume and strength.
