Hi Dear,
I’m going to design a research method to evaluate lumbar spine repositioning sense (proprioception) in sitting position.
I thought that different speed of body segment during proprioception tests may influence the repositioning results, therefore by using isokinetic device we try to control the speed of the tested segment to avoid bias in results.
Since we cannot use isokinetic device to assess proprioception in transverse plane of the lumbar motion, I would be appreciated if you can share your experience about this.
It is interesting that in some similar studies the subjects performed the test at self-selected speed!! And I do not understand how the impact of speed difference on the test result is ignored.
Thank you for your help.
