2011, Journal of Bodywork and Movement TherapiesCitation Excerpt :As a result of these conflicting opinions about strength and pain correlations, some researchers have suggested that the classical gross measurements of strength and endurance may actually reflect a pain tolerance measure rather than an estimation of muscle function (Mannion et al., 1996). In each instance however, there is a general consensus among clinicians and researchers that strength measurements (regardless if they are primary or secondary outcomes) are of clinical value at least for determining training dosage and documenting rehabilitation efficacy (Leggett et al., 1991; Highland et al., 1992; Pollock et al., 1993; Berg et al., 1994; Ylinen and Ruuska, 1994; Hagberg et al., 2000; Nakama et al., 2003; Ylinen et al., 2004b; Kay et al., 2005). There are many operational definitions of strength.
