Standardizing Reporting Practices for Isokinetic Testing: a Delphi Study

Sponsor: University Hospital, Caen

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Isokinetic testing plays a crucial role in research and clinical practice, particularly for evaluating muscle strength, functional performance, and imbalances between muscle groups in fields such as rehabilitation, sports medicine, and orthopedics. Despite its widespread use, there is no international consensus on how to standardize protocols or report results, leading to significant variability in methodologies, measurement parameters, and data presentation. This Delphi method study aims to develop a consensus framework for standardizing the reporting of isokinetic testing data, ensuring consistency and comparability in research and clinical practices.

Delphi method survey

This intervention involves a Delphi method study, where a panel of experts in isokinetic testing will collaborate to reach a consensus on best practices for standardizing the reporting of isokinetic test data. Unlike other clinical studies, this intervention focuses on gathering expert opinions iteratively to establish a unified framework for data reporting, without direct clinical or experimental treatment. The process includes multiple rounds of feedback, refining key elements related to testing protocols, measurement parameters, and result presentation, ensuring broad expertise from various fields such as medicine, rehabilitation, and biomechanics.
