AB  - OBJECTIVE: To determine the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC), Standard 
      Error of Measurement (SEM), Minimum Detectable Change (MDC), and the Minimum 
      Clinically Important Difference (MCID) of the isometric measurements of muscle 
      strength of trunk extension and of flexion and knee extension at maximum 
      contraction in healthy, paraplegic, and amputee individuals, by using an 
      isometric dynamometer with a belt for stabilization. METHODS: An observational 
      cross-sectional study was carried out to assess the reliability of a portable 
      isometric dynamometer in the trunk extension and flexion and knee extension 
      movements of each group. RESULTS: In all measurements, ICC ranged from 0.66 to 
      0.99, SEM from 0.11 to 3.73 kgf, and MDC from 0.30 to 10.3 kgf. The MCID of the 
      movements ranged from 3.1 to 4.9 kgf in the amputee group and from 2.2 to 3.66 
      kgf in the paraplegic group. CONCLUSION: The manual dynamometer demonstrated good 
      intra-examiner reliability, presenting moderate and excellent ICC results. Thus, 
      this device is a reliable resource to measure muscle strength in amputees and 
      paraplegics. Level of Evidence II, Cross-Sectional Study.
