Summary

This study tested whether a small, handheld device called a dynamometer can give more accurate leg strength measurements in people who had a stroke more than three months ago. Twenty adults took part, and researchers measured how much force their legs could produce and sustain. The goal was to reduce measurement errors and give therapists better information for designing rehab exercises.
