TI  - Grip strength comparison in immune-mediated neuropathies: Vigorimeter vs. Jamar.
PG  - 269-76
LID - 10.1111/jns.12126 [doi]
AB  - The Jamar dynamometer and Vigorimeter have been used to assess grip strength in 
      immune-mediated neuropathies, but have never been compared to each other. 
      Therefore, we performed a comparison study between these two devices in patients 
      with immune-mediated neuropathies. Grip strength data were collected in 102 
      cross-sectional stable and 163 longitudinal (new diagnoses or changing condition) 
      patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), chronic inflammatory demyelinating 
      polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), gammopathy-related polyneuropathy (MGUSP), and 
      multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN). Stable patients were assessed twice 
      (validity/reliability studies). Longitudinal patients were assessed 3-5 times 
      during 1 year. Responsiveness comparison between the two tools was examined using 
      combined anchor-/distribution-based minimum clinically important difference 
      (MCID) techniques. Patients were asked to indicate their preference for the Jamar 
      or Vigorimeter. Both tools correlated highly with each other (rho = 0.86, 
      p < 0.0001) and showed good intra-class correlation coefficients (Jamar 
      [Right/Left hands]: ICC 0.997/0.96; Vigori: ICC 0.95/0.98). Meaningful changes 
      were comparable between the two instruments, being higher in GBS compared to CIDP 
      patients. In MGUSP/MMN poor responsiveness was seen. Significant more patients 
      preferred the Vigorimeter. In conclusion, validity, reliability, and 
      responsiveness aspects were comparable between the Jamar dynamometer and 
      Vigorimeter. However, based on patients' preference, the Vigorimeter is 
      recommended in future studies in immune-mediated neuropathies.
