COMPARISON OF THE EFFECTS OF KNEE ISOKINETIC MEASUREMENT WITH DIFFERENT POSITION ON KNEE ISOKINETIC STRENGTH

Isokinetic dynamometry of the knee extensors and flexors in

  Background :This paper explores the gender-related bilateral differences of extensor and flexor torques of the knee joint at low and high angular velocities in Iranian healthy males and females.   Methods : 70 healthy subjects (29 males (26.61±4.34 yrs and 41 females with average age of 23.07±3.70 yrs)) were participated in this study. Isokinetic peak torque values for knee extensors and flex...

Isokinetic Training Effect of Ankle Positions on Knee Extensor Strength

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine which ankle position most influences knee extensor strength in training programs for strengthening the knee extensors using three different active ankle positions. [Subjects] Twenty-one healthy adults (6 males and 15 females) participated in this study. [Methods] Subjects were trained isokinetically in knee extension and flexion at 70 or 80% ...

The effect of hip joint position on knee joint isokinetic dynamometry indices in football and track and field athletes

Isokinetic Strength and Functional Status in Knee Osteoarthritis

Muscle function and functional performance are affected in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). The aim of the study was to investigate and compare the concentric torque of knee muscles (quadriceps and hamstring) and functional status in two matched groups: one group of patients with low grade of tibiofemoral OA, and one group of matched healthy subjects. Concentric peak torques of quadriceps and...

Comparison of knee laxity and isokinetic muscle strength in patients with a posterior cruciate ligament injury

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to compare knee laxity and isokinetic muscle strength in patients with an isolated posterior cruciate ligament injury. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty high school rugby players with a previous posterior cruciate ligament injury and abnormal findings higher than surgical grade I were included. Laxity with 132 N of pressure was measured using Kneelax 3 to assess ...
