Objective evaluation of upper limb claudication: use of isokinetic dynamometry.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this work is to present an objective, practical, and reproducible method for evaluating the functional limitation caused by occlusive arterial disease in upper limbs: a stress test using an isokinetic dynamometer. METHODS Twenty-three patients with unilateral subclavian artery occlusive disease were included in the study, forming group 1. Seven patients of similar a...
متن کاملIsokinetic 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...
متن کاملIsokinetic dynamometry. Applications and limitations.
Isokinetic contraction is the muscular contraction that accompanies constant velocity limb movements around a joint. The velocity of movement is maintained constant by a special dynamometer. The resistance of the dynamometer is equal to the muscular forces applied throughout the range of movement. This method allows the measurement of the muscular forces in dynamic conditions and provides optim...
متن کاملUse of arteriography for the initial evaluation of patients with intermittent lower limb claudication.
CONTEXT Many patients with intermittent claudication continue to be forwarded to the vascular surgeon for initial evaluation after arteriography has already been accomplished. OBJECTIVE The main objective of this work was to analyze the usefulness and the need for this procedure. TYPE OF STUDY Retrospective study. SETTING The patients were divided into two groups: Group 1, with the arteri...
