- Abstract
Assessment of quadriceps strength is essential in rehabilitation and sport to design effective training programs and monitor recovery. However, there are a variety of methods used but their reliability and validity has not been fully tested. The aim of this study is to determine the most accessible, reliable and valid methods of quadriceps strength assessment. Therefore, a systematic review based on the PRISMA method guidelines was carried out in the databases PubMed, Cochrane, Google Scholar, Medline, including a total of 15 articles. A remarkable validity and reliability was detected in the different configurations of the hand-held dynamometer. Nevertheless, the isokinetic dynamometer has an excellent degree of reliability and validity, although it turns out to be very inaccessible and expensive. On the other hand, future investigations are expected within pathological populations.
