Test-re-test reliability of quadriceps muscle strength measures in people with more severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

CONCLUSION: The results supports that maximal voluntary contraction and potentiated twitch stimulation measurements of isometric quadriceps strength are reliable in people with severe to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as evident excellent relative reliability using both techniques, although the former technique appears to have better absolute reliability.
