Balance Assessment Scale and Strength Measurement Protocol to Measure Functionality in Adults With Spinal Deformity
Sponsor: Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven
Summary
Develop reliable methods for functional assessment, for trunk strength, of Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD) patients and create a first clinical and normative database 1. Compare functionality of ASD and control subjects 2. Relate functionality of ASD patients to their pathology, in terms of spinal deformity and muscle condition
