Waarom dit belangrijk is
The psoas is crucial for walking, posture, and core stability. Fat infiltration indicates muscle deterioration, causing deep groin or lower back pain, difficulty lifting legs (climbing stairs, getting in cars), and walking with shortened stride. Weak psoas affects posture, causing excessive back arch and protruding belly. Pain often radiates from lower back through groin to front of thigh.
Prolonged sitting worsens symptoms by keeping psoas shortened. This deep muscle weakness contributes to falls in older adults. This is a research-based wellness measurement.
