Isokinetic Dynamometry

Isokinetic dynamometry is a precise method of measuring muscle strength and performance using specialized equipment that controls the speed of movement. During testing, the device adjusts resistance so that the muscle contracts at a constant, predetermined speed throughout its range of motion. This allows for accurate assessment of muscle force production, detection of imbalances, and monitoring of injury recovery. It’s often used by clinicians and researchers to evaluate muscle function objectively, facilitating targeted rehabilitation and performance optimization.
