Reviewer 3 Report
First, congratulations to the authors for their effort and interest in this relevant topic. The following are my observations.
Abstract.
Conclusion. It should be based on the findings of reliability, not validity.
1.- Introduction.
- The acronym MVIC must be specified
- Please provide more clarity to establish the knowledge gap or problem.
2.- Materials and Methods
- Correct the errors : “Error! Reference source not found”
- The table names must be at the top.
- Table 1 is repeated and not referenced in the text.
- What is TE%? Please define.
3.- Results
- The table names must be at the top.
4.- Discussion.
- Please argue to a greater extent the contribution of the evaluation in the bipedal position, with respect to the evaluation in the seated position.
