Isokinetics in Physiotherapy
Keywords:
Isokinetic dinamometer, muscular work, muscular strain, strength, endurance, angular speed.Abstract
he introduction and difussion of isokinetic dinamometer has been possible because of standard di-namometric measures in dinamic conditions. Proliferation of tests and isokinetic treatments are com¬
on nowadays at least in sports, but a huge varied kind of workers are progressive been studied un¬
er trese conditions. In general lines, this method is directed to research strength in coincidents muscular groups during a specific movement, even if it's athletic or not.
The use of dinamometer permits high reproducible valorations, offering functional safety, mostly when common patients and not athletes are analyzed. The basis of this system stands on constant speed of muscular work done, against adjusted and variable resistance done by the patient. Because of this muscular strain developed can be standed in to highest worths during all test. This muscular activity and the biomecanic behaviour of researched muscles are totally different from the ones studied by the use of systems working against gravity force.
