About this study
Official title: Correlation of Core Strength/Core Stability and Coordinative Skills in Healthy Adults - an Explorative Study
Evaluation of healthy young adults regarding balance, core strength/core stability and physical fitness. Correlation of primary outcome parameters and selected secondary parameters.
- Conditions
- Postural Balance, Core Strength, Core Stability, Physical Fitness
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Healthy adults | Healthy adults between 18 and 35 years |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Center of pressure track (COPT)
Posturographic parameter; lower values indicate better postural stability
Measured: Baseline
Area of sway (AOS)
Posturographic parameter; lower values indicate better postural stability
Measured: Baseline
Core stability test of the Swiss Olympic Medical Center
Measurement of Core strength/Core stability in sec; higher values indicate better core strength
Measured: Baseline
Secondary outcomes (8)
Baecke Questionnaire of Habitual Physical Activity (BQHPA)
Questionnaire of physical fitness; higher values indicate higher physical fitness
Measured: Baseline
Stability energy
Posturographic parameter, measures economy of movement; higher values mean lower stabilty
Measured: Baseline
Harmony index
Posturographic parameter
Measured: Baseline
Frequency of sway
Posturographic parameter
Measured: Baseline
Feedback
Posturographic parameter; quantitative data; a score is calculated by the posturographic system to determine the influence of visual, vestibular and somatosensory feedback on postural control
Measured: Baseline
Movement control
Posturographic parameter; the frequencies of the movement amplitude during the posturographic measurement are calculated and a score for the low and high frequencies is presented. For the lower frequencies (F1, F2) higher values are positive. For the higher frequencies (F3 - F8) lower values are positive.
Measured: Baseline
Weight distribution index
Posturographic parameter; Center of pressure at beginning of measurement
Measured: Baseline
Body mass index (BMI)
Relation weight to height
Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Postural Balance and Core Strength, run by Johannes Kepler University of Linz at 1 site in Austria.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Austria. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Christian Mittermaier, M.D. (+43 5 7680 83 ext. 78696, christian.mittermaier@kepleruniklinikum.at), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Center of pressure track (COPT) (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Mar 2023.
