A wide variety of trunk strength testing devices has been developed, the goal being to quantify back strength, patient effort, and spinal function or dysfunction. Although the idea of applying quantitative values to spine function is appealing, controversy exists regarding the reliability and validity of these testing systems. In this issue, two experienced investigators give their opinions as to the values and pitfalls of lumbar trunk strength testing, and provide insight into the most appropriate applications of these often costly systems.
已经开发出了各种各样的躯干力量测试设备，目的是量化背部力量、患者的努力程度以及脊柱功能或功能障碍。尽管将定量值应用于脊柱功能的想法很有吸引力，但这些测试系统的可靠性和有效性存在争议。在本期中，两位经验丰富的研究人员就腰椎躯干力量测试的价值和缺陷发表了他们的看法，并深入探讨了这些通常成本高昂的系统的最合适应用。
