Clinical Trial: Validation of a Methodology Using Isometric Dynamometer for Ankle STrength Assessment to Quantify LDH-induced Paresis

U.S., Aug. 14 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07763522) titled 'Validation of a Methodology Using Isometric Dynamometer for Ankle STrength Assessment to Quantify LDH-induced Paresis' on July 08.

Brief Summary: Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a common condition that may cause lower limb motor weakness (paresis), particularly affecting ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion. Although motor deficits are clinically important and may influence treatment decisions, objective and standardized methods for quantifying the severity of paresis are lacking. Current clinical assessment mainly relies on manual muscle testing, which is subjective and has limited sensitivity, while isokinetic dynamometry, the re...
