Abstract

Aim: This umbrella review aimed to identify the available assessments to measure neuromuscular function in community-dwelling older adults, and to critically review their measurement properties. Findings: Five assessments are suitable for measuring the neuromuscular function domain of vitality capacity in community-dwelling older adults: the handheld dynamometer for hand grip strength, the dynamometer for knee extensor strength, and the sniff nasal inspiratory pressure, maximal inspiratory pressure and maximal expiratory pressure for respiratory muscles. Message: This study highlights the need and provides evidence for using specific tests for measuring neuromuscular function as a part of vitality capacity in community-dwelling older adults.
