This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Summary

This study tests whether a custom-made standing platform can reliably measure trunk flexion strength in healthy young men aged 18 to 25. Participants stand slightly bent forward and push against a belt connected to a force gauge. Measurements are taken twice, one week apart, to see if the device gives consistent results. If proven reliable, this affordable tool could help physiotherapists and sports trainers assess core strength without costly lab equipment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Custom-made standing platform for trunk flexion isometric strength assessment
What this could lead to
If reliable, this low-cost device could help physiotherapists and sports practitioners assess trunk strength without expensive lab equipment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early reliability study in healthy young men only. Results may not apply to other groups, and the device may not prove accurate enough for clinical use.
