I have a full fridge and a dynamometer. Would love to know if a sandwich would even register but suspect my kit is not sensitive enough - need one set for border force.

Interesting to note the "1000 W Peak" on some of those, which reminds me of inflationary claims on stereo amps, back when people had big stereos. Would be fun to put these on a dynamometer, and see what the real numbers are. (my guess would be "inflated but still illegal".)

This is my favorite #frailty scale (and this is a topic I am particularly interested in), and yeah it’s all vibes but it works great, our #cardiac #surgeons have even incorporated it into their pre-op workups. No dynamometer required

How many dynamometer tests in a wind tunnel have *you* run?

ICE cars drive their AC compressors with rotational energy which induces very little additional load on the engine. EVs must use electricity directly to rotate the AC compressor, while also being much more sensitive to air resistance.

5) The data analysed came from this older paper where ME/CFS patients did 10 repetitions using an electric dynamometer.

Jäkel et al. 2021. Hand grip strength and fatigability: correlation with clinical parameters and diagnostic suitability in ME/CFS
Hand grip strength and fatigability: correlation with clinical parameters and diagnostic suitability in ME/CFS - Journal of Translational Medicine
Background Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex and debilitating disease accompanied by muscular fatigue and pain. A functional measure to assess muscle fatigability of ME/CFS patients is, however, not established in clinical routine. The aim of this study is to evaluate by assessing repeat maximum handgrip strength (HGS), muscle fatigability as a diagnostic tool and its correlation with clinical parameters. Methods We assessed the HGS of 105 patients with ME/CFS, 18 patients with Cancer related fatigue (CRF) and 66 healthy controls (HC) using an electric dynamometer assessing maximal (Fmax) and mean force (Fmean) of ten repetitive measurements. Results were correlated with clinical parameters, creatinine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Further, maximum isometric quadriceps strength measurement was conducted in eight ME/CFS patients and eight HC. Results ME/CFS patients have a significantly lower Fmax and Fmean HGS compared to HC (p < 0.0001). Further, Fatigue Ratio assessing decline in strength during repeat maximal HGS measurement (Fmax/Fmean) was higher (p ≤ 0.0012). The Recovery Ratio after an identical second testing 60 min later was significantly lower in ME/CFS compared to HC (Fmean2/Fmean1; p ≤ 0.0020). Lower HGS parameters correlated with severity of disease, post-exertional malaise and muscle pain and with higher CK and LDH levels after exertion. Conclusion Repeat HGS assessment is a sensitive diagnostic test to assess muscular fatigue and fatigability and an objective measure to assess disease severity in ME/CFS.

Just published! We tested a low-cost (40-50$) handgrip dynamometer (Camry) and found it’s super reliable, valid and durable 💪

This could be a game-changer for clinics, schools, and community health programs where budget matters.

Pyridostigmine improves hand grip strength in patients with #myalgicencephalomyelitis / #CFS

Free fulltext:

This drug, Mestinon, is being tested in the @openmedf.bsky.social LIFT trial

#MEcfs #PwME
Background: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a multisystemic disease characterized by exertional intolerance and fatigue which is often accompanied by muscle weakness and fatiguability. A study showed efficacy of the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor pyridostigmine on cardiac output in ME/CFS patients. Pyridostigmine is currently used off-label in ME/CFS and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. Methods: We evaluated the effect of pyridostigmine on hand grip strength in 20 patients with post-infectious ME/CFS. Hand grip strength testing was performed ten times using an electric dynamometer and was repeated after 1 h. In a second test, 30 mg of pyridostigmine was given immediately after the first measurement. Orthostatic function was assessed using a passive standing test. Neurological examination and autoantibody testing were performed to rule out a diagnosis of myasthenia gravis. Results: All patients had reduced maximum hand grip strength with a median of 16.45 kg (IQR: 11.45 kg–22.8 kg). Hand grip strength was diminished by a median of 4.65 kg after 1 h. In contrast, 1 h after pyridostigmine administration, patients showed an improvement in maximum hand grip strength with a median increase of 2.6 kg. The maximum hand grip strength after exertion was about 1.5-fold higher with then without pyridostigmine (p = 0.01). The increase in heart rate from lying to standing was median 17 beats per minute without pyridostigmine (IQR: 13 beats per minute – 23 beats per minute) and 13 beats per minute (IQR: 9 beats per minute – 20 beats per minute) (p = 0.017) with pyridostigmine. None of the patients tested positive for myasthenia gravis specific autoantibodies. Conclusion: Pyridostigmine exerts an immediate effect on muscle strength and orthostatic function. This may be attributed to increased acetylcholine availability at neuromuscular junctions, and its augmentation of parasympathetic tone.

Looking down from an overbridge on an overcast day, we see a 6-track section of non-electrified mainline railway on the approach to a railway station on which a streamlined two-car diesel railcar set is approaching. The lead car is painted in the SRA Candy livery whilst the rear (power) car is in Indian red livery. In the background, there are sidings on which are stabled some large yellow track maintenance machines.
