Book excerpt: Practical and easy-to-use, this text covers the theoretical background of clinical isokinetics and its practical applications in the field of muscle performance and rehabilitation. It examines the methodology and its use in relation to muscle conditioning and rehabilitation. The content also offers detailed coverage of isokinetic dynamometry (measuring muscle strength and function) in relation to the muscle systems of the major joints. Practically written content clearly describes the basic physiological and biomechanical aspects of isokinetics. Detailed discussion addresses measurement of muscle strength of all the major joints. Coverage of medicolegal implications of isokinetic findings aid the reader in coming to a clearer understanding. Material is strongly evidence-based and fully referenced, making the information more credible and applicable. Chapter on the isokinetics of elbow and hand muscles provides information on developments in this important area. Content on medicolegal application of isokinetics gives practical explanations of this difficult topic. Material on special applications of isokinetics, like manifestations of muscle weakness in relation to specific diseases, aids the reader in understanding more unique clinical applications.

Book excerpt: Principles and Practice of Isokinetics in Sports Medicineprovides a comprehensive, critical review of isokinetic technology applied to sports training program testing and rehabilitation following injury and surgery. Featuring the work of renowned international contributors, the reference presents a step-by-step guide on practical isokinetic procedures and examines the significance and validity of variables commonly measured. The scientific value of isokinetics is highlighted both for sports medicine and sport sciences, enabling sports medicine practitioners to identify the merits of isokinetics and its relevant applications. The use of isokinetics in injury diagnosis and rehabilitation is outlined with specific illustrations from research data collected at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Special attention is given to assessment of the most commonly injured sites: the knee, ankle, shoulder, and trunk. The reference offers guidelines for the interpretation of test results along with examples of how to apply the guidelines in designing appropriate rehabilitation programs. A special section is devoted to the use of isokinetics in the assessment of sport performance. Extensive photographs, charts, and illustrations throughout the reference highlight key points.
