measure Muscle function and bone strength (Mechanography)
Study: Generation R Mode of collection: MeasurementsAndTests Biological sample/measurement Available measurements: Generation R 17-18 yearsMuscle function and bone strength were assessed using mechanography. This includes a mechanographic record of jumping movements on a specially designed springboard. Relevant functional parameters such as strength and spot force are measured to determine coordination, muscle function and muscle-bone relationship.Created October 17, 2024 • Updated October 20, 2024 -
