The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of dynamometer and joint axis misalignment on measured isometric knee-extension moments using inverse dynamics based on the actual joint kinematic information derived from the real-time X-ray video and to compare the errors when the moments were calculated using measurements from external anatomical surface markers or obtained from the isoki...

Eccentric exercises are increasingly prescribed in the assessment and rehabilitation of musculo-skeletal injuries and disorders [1,2]. Under experimental conditions, researchers have also used isokinetic tools for investigating delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) induced by repeated eccentric bouts of contraction [3]. A better knowledge of the cardiovascular and metabolic response to maximal i...

This review aimed to analyze the impact of whole-body-vibration (WBV) training on strength, power, muscle endurance, functional lower-extremity flexibility (FLEF), and strength (FLES) in older adults evaluate effectiveness different WBV periods. Electronic searches were conducted using four databases. The methodological quality level evidence selected articles assessed by two reviewers. Standar...

ISOKINETIC RANGE OF MOTION (ROM) HAS THREE DISTINCT PHASES rate of velocity development (RVD), load range (LR), and deceleration (DCC). The purpose of this study was to determine if differences in isokinetic knee extension/flexion LR exist between body positions. Ten subjects (4 males and 6 females, age 29.3 ± 5.4 yrs, ht 1.71 ± 0.10 m, wt 71.9 ± 12.9 kg) volunteered to participate in the seate...

Fatigue causes kinematics modifications during running, and it could be related to injuries. The aim was identify compare the effects of central peripheral fatigue on angular spatiotemporal parameters running. Angular were evaluated using an infrared motion capture system registered 2 min treadmill running in pre- post-fatigue states eighteen male recreational runners. Central induced by a 30 p...

The aim of this study was to investigate the ankle and knee stiffness passive torque in individuals with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2), without diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) at different speed motion. Forty-nine male a similar age were studied (17 DM2 DPN, 15 17 controls). Knee flexion extension torques assessed on an isokinetic dynamometer 5°/s, 30°/s, 60°/s. Our results showed that ex...

Long-term muscle weakness may increase the risk of knee reinjury after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and osteoarthritis. The incidence secondary injuries ACLR predictive value preoperative postoperative limb symmetry index (LSI) estimated preinjury capacity (EPIC) were studied for predicting in a retrospective study. Sixty-three recreational professional athletes with hamstri...
