Manual muscle testing, although commonly used, offers suboptimal accuracy and reliability. Isokinetic dynamometers (IKDs) have excellent accuracy and reliability; but are bulky and expensive, offering limited accessibility. This study aimed to design a portable dynamometer that is accessible, accurate and reliable, and to validate the device in a general population. The portable articulated dynamometry system (PADS) is a portable device with an embedded high-precision load cell, designed to measure muscle strength with optimal accuracy. Seventy-two participants underwent maximal isometric and isokinetic knee extensor torque measurement with the PADS and IKD, respectively. The PADS results were cross-validated against IKD results using change in mean (CIM). Interrater and intra-rater reliabilities were assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients, standard error of measurement, and minimal detectable change. The PADS maximal knee extensor strength results were not significantly different from those by IKD (CIM: \u2212\u20092.13 Nm; 95% CI \u2212\u20094.74, 0.49 Nm). The PADS showed interrater reliability (Pearson\u2019s r: 0.958; ICC: 0.979; SEM: 5.51%) and excellent intra-rater reliability (Pearson\u2019s r: 0.912; ICC: 0.954; SEM: 8.38%). The proposed PADS may be an effective alternative to IKD, offering good accuracy, reliability, and potentially better accessibility.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-023-39062-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,23]],"date-time":"2023-07-23T10:01:29Z","timestamp":1690106489000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Development and validation of a portable articulated dynamometry system to assess knee extensor muscle strength"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Youho","family":"Myong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sungwoo","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Minwoo","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seung Yeon","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Woo Hyung","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Byung-Mo","family":"Oh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sungwan","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"39062_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"303","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejim.2015.04.013","volume":"26","author":"KA Volaklis","year":"2015","unstructured":"Volaklis, K.
