Posturographic Characteristics of Eccentric, Isometric and Concentric Movements

Brief summary (from the registry)

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.
