Abstract Aim The goal of the study was to analyse abdominal wall strength profile in patients with incisional hernia and relationship between hernial defect diameter strength. Methods Observational cohort (July-October 2022), classified as W2 according European Hernia Society. Collected data demographic characteristics, clinical characteristics related hernia, measure using an isokinetic dynamo...

METHODS Recruitment patterns and latencies were determined by the electromyographic activity of the scapular stabilizer muscles (trapezius and serratus anterior) during shoulder elevation in the scapular plane. Isokinetic measures of muscular performance were determined by the antagonist/agonist work ratios of the medial (MR) and lateral rotators (LR) obtained with the dynamometer Biodex at spe...

Isokinetic resistance is frequently used to strength profile healthy athletes and to evaluate the status of injured athletes involved in rehabilitation programs. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the reliability of peak torque, torque acceleration energy, endurance ratio, average power, and total work measures obtained with a Cybex isokinetic dynamometer. Fifteen college studen...

OBJECTIVE To analyze and compare the vertical component of ground reaction forces and isokinetic muscle parameters for plantar flexion and dorsiflexion of the ankle between long-distance runners, triathletes, and nonathletes. METHODS Seventy-five males with a mean age of 30.26 (±6.5) years were divided into three groups: a triathlete group (n=26), a long-distance runner group (n = 23), and a ...

Isokinetic training and assessment of the knee joint has been the mainstay of rehabilitation, especially in patients with anterior cruciate ligament deficiency. Besides the original shin pad used, the antishear device was introduced by Johnson in 1982. This device has been shown biomechanically to prevent excessive anterior translation of force on the tibia during training. However, there is a ...
