| Summary: | The function and the muscular strength are two parameters frequently appraised during the pediatric neurological exam. The isometric method, through the manual dynamometry, is a technique of easy application. The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of the visual feedback in the data generated in the test of isometric maximum force by the manual dynamometry in a sample of healthy children. The isometric maximum force was measured through a manual dynamometer in the activity of pinch of three fingers with and without visual feedback. Differences statistically significant were not observed among the data obtained without and with visual feedback, as well as influence of age, weight, height, and IMC. More studies are suggested with similar population and with adults and disabled children. It was concluded that the visual feedback do not influence the data generated in the test of isometric maximum force by the manual dynamometry of pinch of three fingers. |
