Resumen
The study by Jerez-Mayorga et al. (2021) evaluates the test-retest reliability of using a functional electromechanical dynamometer (FEMD) to measure strength and velocity during the five-repetition sit-to-stand (5-STS) test. Results showed high to very high reliability (ICC 0.95–1.00) across different incremental loads (5, 10, and 15 kg), indicating that FEMD is a precise instrument for assessing lower-body functional performance.
La prueba 5-STS medida con FEMD proporciona un punto de referencia robusto para la potencia muscular de la parte inferior del cuerpo. Con valores de ICC que alcanzan 1.00 para ciertas métricas, los clínicos pueden monitorear con confianza las mejoras funcionales.
