Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • isokinetic muscle strength

    Trunk muscle strength measurement using the Biodex System 3Pro Multi-joint System Isokinetic dynamometer. Peak torque (PT) and PT-based agonist/antagonist ratios will be used to reveal strength imbalances.

    6 - 12 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • quality of life assesment

    6 -12 months
