In the book chapter, a discussion of dynamometry concludes that:
A) Dynamometry is not a commonly used standard measure
B) Dynamometry will determine if a person can pick up a teakettle
C) Dynamometry measures will correlate with but won't predict ability to do functional tasks with the hand
D) Dynamometry has little reliability or validity

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chapter concludes that dynamometry measures can correlate with a person's ability to do functional tasks with the hand, but cannot predict it. This means that dynamometry can provide useful information, but should not be the only measure used to assess hand function. Option A and D are incorrect as dynamometry is a commonly used standard measure and has adequate reliability and validity measures. Option B is incorrect as dynamometry measures can determine grip strength, not necessarily the ability to pick up a teakettle specifically.
