This study aims to evaluate the force used by fibromyalgia patients during a task compared to healthy volunteers and to evaluate its relationship with fatigue seen in these patients.
Fatigue is a common symptom in fibromyalgia patients and it is known that these patients have decreased muscle strength compared to healthy volunteers. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the minimum force to be applied during carrying is different in fibromyalgia patients compared to healthy volunteers.
