Brief summary

To determine intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of hand held dynamometer for assessing isometric lumbar

Detailed description

After being informed about the study and potential risks, all participants given informed consent underwent a 1-week screening period to determine eligibility for study entry. Two raters assessed isometric strength of lumbar flexor and extensor muscles, by a hand-held dynamometer. Strength was measured and recorded by each of the two raters and re-assessed after a week.
