Lateral Trunk Flexion Strength: Impairment, Measurement Reliability and Implications Following Unilateral Brain Lesion.
Bohannon, Richard W.
International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, v15 n3 p249-51 Sep 1992
This pilot study into trunk muscle strength following brain lesions examined 11 patients to determine (1) whether the trunk muscles of the paretic side are impaired after brain lesions; (2) whether measurements of lateral muscle strength are reliable; and (3) the implications of trunk muscle strength for sitting balance and walking performance.
