Validity and Reliability of Trunk Strength Device

Switzerland30 participantsStarted 2024-11-15

Plain-language summary

The study aims to evaluate the accuracy and consistency of assessing trunk muscle strength using an isometric device (Pegasus, Leipzig, Germany). Thirty healthy volunteers will undergo maximal isometric strength testing with the device, repeated one week later to assess repeatability. Surface electrodes will measure muscle activation, while MRI scans will assess structural condition.
