Manual Muscle Test (MMT) enables physical therapists to assess muscle seems to general the clinical physical therapy but MMT does not interpret muscle over grade 4 because of measures proceeding from subjective judgment. For this rea-son, the general theory describe that Manual Muscle Test take Muscle Measure machinery together. ¹,² The Muscle Measure machinery name is Torque machine, Biodex, Cybex and Hand-Held Dynamometer (HHD). These are high numbers of reliability because machines could firmly fix body on the seat, but these are so expensive and needed a large place, therefore HHD to compensate the disad-vantage of Torque machine, Biodex and Cybex. ³
The prior research mention Knee extension muscle relate to standing motion and walking ability, hence the physical therapist needs a measure to be a representa-tive of quadriceps muscles.⁴,⁵ Furthermore, this theory is measured as a repre-sentative muscle test of the lower extremities and it has been reported that the va-lidity of an isometric knee extension muscle it is used by the fixed belt.⁶,⁷ In addi-tion, eyes feedback affects measurement motion from iPad movie.⁸
From the above, the main objective of this paper is to examine the validity of an isometric knee extension muscle in which one person uses HHD and iPad. Be-cause of normally HHD measured is done by two examiners, but clinical physical therapy is a shortage of human resource that is difficult to measure with multiple people.
