lihaskoe
Lihaskoe is a term of Finnish origin that translates to "muscle test" or "muscle examination." It refers to a medical assessment or diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the strength, function, and integrity of a person's muscles. This examination is a fundamental part of a neurological or physical examination and helps physicians identify potential muscle disorders, nerve damage, or other conditions affecting motor function.
A lihaskoe can involve various methods. Simple observation may reveal muscle atrophy (wasting) or hypertrophy (enlargement).
The findings from a lihaskoe guide the diagnosis and treatment plan for a wide range of conditions.
