Strength Assessment - Knee - Isokinetic Knee Testing

Isokinetics plays a significant role in the evaluation and rehabilitation of injured athletes. The video demonstrates the patient set up and concentric knee extension and flexion isokinetic testing at 180 and 300 deg/sec using the Biodex Multi-Joint System. There are multiple testing protocols that can be used (i.e., different speeds, concentric, isometric, and eccentric strength testing) based upon the needs of your patient/athlete and where they are in the rehabilitation and return to sport continuum. The general set up and principles described can be translated into different testing protocols as well.
