ABSTRACT

The term isokinetic is a word used to describe muscle contraction when the rate of movement (velocity) is held constant. The term dynamometer is a word used to describe an apparatus for measuring force or power especially during muscular effort. An isokinetic dynamometer is a device, which is usually electromechanical (both electrical and mechanical) in operation, that assesses isokinetic

Isokinetic Isokinetic dynamometers are used extensively within many forms of human dynamometers movement, for example within sports as exercise devices that develop specific

muscles and muscle groups, and within rehabilitation and medicine to condition muscles following injury or muscle wasting.
