Measuring muscle strength in healthy adults
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study measures muscle strength in your legs and hands to create reference charts for people in Southern Europe. It helps doctors understand normal strength ranges and may support future health care decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 89 years old.
- You must live in Spain, Portugal, or Italy (or have lived there for at least 5 years).
