Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the test-retest reliability of muscles strength measurements performed with Nicholas Manual Muscle Tester (NMMT) in healthy ballet subjects.Materials and Methods: The study group consisted of 10 healthy ballet students aged between 10-11 years. Muscle strength evaluations of lower extremity were made to determine the physical performance level using NMMT. Moreover, every measurements were performed three times with NMMT. Results: NMMT measurements were found as reliable for lower extremity muscle strength in clinical measurements. These reliability of NMMT scores were found as between 0.634 and 0.991. Conclusion: In this paper, we think that NMMT measurements for lower extremity muscles can be used as reliable in clinical measurements and the identification of problems including lower extremity, evaluation of the training and treatment effectiveness of ballet students
