Knee strength test for healthy Brazilian adults
This study is measuring normal knee strength in healthy Brazilian adults aged 18 to 80. By participating, you will help doctors understand what typical knee strength looks like, which can improve care for people with knee problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You do not have any health condition (like injury, nerve, or heart/lung problems) that limits your ability to do a knee strength test.
- You can complete all the assessments planned for the study.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 40 (this is a measure of weight relative to height).
- You are able to complete a short memory/thinking test at the start of the study.

This study checks how well your knee muscles “turn on” during guided, controlled knee movements. It may help researchers understand movement problems and improve testing or therapies for neuromotor (nerve/movement) disorders.
This study tests a video analysis software (Kinovea) to see how accurately it measures knee and hip angles when people stand up from a chair. Healthy volunteers aged 18–45 with a normal BMI are needed.
This trial aims to assess the overall health and abilities of older adults in Brazil. It will measure things like strength, memory, and walking speed to understand how well people can take care of themselves and stay independent.
This study uses MRI scans to see how the knee moves from a bent to a straight position. It aims to learn more about normal knee motion, which could help improve treatments for knee problems.
