Posturographic Characteristics of Eccentric, Isometric and Concentric Movements

Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Chronic Pain, Musculoskeletal Pain

In brief

Determine the posturographic characteristics of eccentric, isometric and concentric movements in healthy subjects as well as in subjects with chronic, orthopedic conditions / pain not involving the lower extremities. The squatting movement (going down from a stand up position, bending the ankle, knee and hip joints, and then returning to the stand up position, while not lifting the feet from the supporting ground surface) is a simple motion that involves all three types of movements: eccentric (the going down), isometric (holding the down position for a couple of seconds) and concentric (the coming up). It is hypothesized that non-healthy subjects will not have "smooth" movements, and posturography could be used to separate between healthy and non-healthy subjects.
