Simple standing platform could replace expensive Strength-Testing machines
NCT ID NCT07716150
First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
