Method Eighteen volunteers (with a total of 30 forearms) participated in this one-session methodological study to determine the intra- and interrater reliability and criterion validity of a forearm dynamometer. Results Intrarater reliability for both assessors for pronation was (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC]3,1 = .937--.961) and for supination was (ICC3,1 = .923--.968). Interrater reliability for pronation was ICC3,2 = .927 and for supination was ICC3,2 = .847. Criterion validity of the Baseline hydraulic dynamometer (Fabrication Enterprises Inc., White Plains, NY) compared with the Cybex 6000 was .574--.664 for pronation and .749--.750 for supination. Conclusion The Baseline hydraulic dynamometer with a more functional doorknob handle had good intraand interrater reliability and demonstrated moderate validity compared with Cybex 6000 strength testing.
