Hip Joint Torque Measurements for 30 Healthy Individuals Comparing Dynamometers

30 healthy individuals (mean age 30 ± 8 years, 13 males) underwent two test sessions in a single day to measure hip muscle performance. The dataset, authored by Katherine McNabb and last updated in May 2026, compares a handheld dynamometer (HHD) to an isokinetic dynamometer (IKD) for measuring rate of torque development (RTD) and peak torque (PT) across six hip movements.

Use Cases

• Assessing the validity of handheld dynamometers for clinical hip muscle testing based on the comparison with isokinetic dynamometers.
• Evaluating intra-rater reliability for rate of torque development (RTD) measures across different time epochs (0-50ms to 0-200ms).
• Analyzing the correlation between peak torque (PT) and late-phase RTD measures (RTD0-150, RTD0-200) in hip movements.
• Comparing systematic bias and limits of agreement for different torque metrics between two measurement devices.

Strengths

• Includes data from 30 participants with detailed demographic information (mean age 30 ± 8 years, 13 males).
• Compares two measurement devices (HHD and IKD) across six specific hip movements: flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal and external rotation.
• Reports specific statistical metrics like intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) ranging from 0.5 to 0.95 and Pearson's r values from .7 to .87.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for machine learning tasks.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is from a single-day study of 30 healthy individuals, which may limit generalizability to clinical populations or over time.
