The Relationship Between Thicknesses and Isokinetic Strength of Hip Flexor and Extensor Muscles

Peak torque and total amount of work of hip flexors and extensors will be determined by the Cybex 6000 model computer-aided isokinetic system.

Ultrasonographic evaluations will be performed with a 5-12 MHz linear probe (Logic e portable; GE Healthcare, China). The thicknesses of the hip flexor (psoas major) and extensor (gluteus maximus) muscles will be measured while the patient is in the prone position, in accordance with the literature.
