• 1 other identifier: Fibromiyalgia1
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 108
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the force used by fibromyalgia patients during a task compared to healthy volunteers and to evaluate its relationship with fatigue seen in these patients.

Conditions

Fibromyalgia; Force Measurement; Isokinetic; Muscle Strength

Keywords

Fibromiyalgia; Muscle Strength; Fatigue

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• minimum pinch force

  minimum fingertip pinch force required to hold a constant weight

  November 2024- January 2025

• maximum pinch force

  maximum fingertip pinch force required to hold a constant weight

  November 2024- January 2025

• % Minimum/maksimum pinch force

  percentage of minimum holding force to maximum holding force

  November 2024- January 2025

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• isokinetik muscle strength
