Summary

The assessment of muscular function, quality and ability is of high importance in a diverse range of clinical disciplines from anaesthetics to physiotherapy. This study will look at the range of measurement techniques currently in use and development and considers their effectiveness and objectivity. It will also investigate whether an objective measurement technique can be found or developed that can be used both in the clinical environment and the community setting. This will focus on upper limb function and ability; ability is used here instead of strength since ability better describes functions needed for daily living rather than the maximum output a muscle is capable of.
