OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the difference in isokinetic strength of hip muscles between patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and matched healthy controls, and to establish the correlation between this isokinetic strength ...

OBJECTIVES: To analyze the effects of motor learning on knee extension-flexion isokinetic performance in knee osteoarthritis patients. METHODS: One hundred and thirty-six middle-aged and older sedentary individuals (111 ...

When rating any assessment protocol one of the key issues is to determine the validity and reliability of the devices used. The aim of this study was to analyze the validity and reliability of the variable velocity isokinetic ...

The most typical maximum tests for measuring leg muscle performance are the one-repetition maximum leg press test (1RMleg) and the isokinetic knee extension/flexion (IKEF) test. Nevertheless, their inter-correlations have ...

The objective was to determine the reliability of isokinetic strength and endurance testing in the ankle joints of patients with intermittent claudication. Twenty-three patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and ...

BACKGROUND: The standardization of trunk-muscle strength assessment is important for clinical practice. OBJECTIVE: To compare trunk muscle strength and electromyographic (EMG) activation of the trunk and lower limb muscles ...

Background: Childhood obesity is one of the most critical global health challenges. Poor knee extensor strength is associated with disability and difficulties with physical function in obese patients. The objective of this ...

BACKGROUND: Hamstrings:quadriceps (H:Q) strength muscular imbalances are frequently associated with injuries. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the H:Q ratio dependencies of the fatigue effect induced by an exhaustive isokinetic ...
