Evaluation of peripheral muscle strength In order to estimate the muscular strength of lower limbs (LIIII), the sit and stand test will be used for one minute (VAIDYA et al., 2016). For the assessment of upper limb muscle strength, the mean value of three maximal hand grip exercises with the dominant limb will be calculated by means of the Jamar® upper limb dynamometer (ROSENTHALL et al., 2009).
