Comparison of functional and isokinetic performance between healthy women and women with fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a rheumatic condition that predominantly affects women and is characterized by chronic pain. As a consequence, it has been suggested that there is a decrease in muscle strength, a prime component of physical fitness, and thus a reduction in functional performance. Therefore, it is necessary to perform a complete and reliable physical evaluation of functional performance. The aim of this study was to compare the functional and isokinetic performance between women with fibromyalgia and healthy women.
