Yоu аre wоrking аs а rehab aid оn the weekend. The facility just hired a new PTA who graduated from PTA school (not Mercer!) 3 months ago. You notice the patient short-sitting on the edge of a plinth. You see the PTA using a hand-grip dynamometer over the patient’s distal anterior thigh while the patient tries to lift her knee from the bed. When you politely inquire about the PTA’s assessment technique, you are told that she is using the dynamometer to measure hip flexion strength in pounds. You know that a dynamometer is intended to be used to measure hand grip strength and that using it to measure hip strength is an inappropriate application of the instrument. Which of the following statements best describes your concern?
