Isokinetic dynamometer
The isokinetic dynamometer (Biodex System 3 PRO) provides a useful method for performance testing and rehabilitation methods for the ankle, knee, hip, wrist, elbow and shoulder. The modes of operation for exercise and testing include isokinetic, passive, isometric, isotonic and reactive eccentric. Biofeedback is provided during each assessment.
The isokinetic dynamometer can measure net muscle torque for the following movements:
- Ankle (plantar flexion/dorsiflexion; inversion/eversion)
- Knee (flexion/extension)
- Hip (flexion/extension)
- Wrist (flexion/extension; pronation/supination)
- Elbow (flexion/extension)
- Shoulder (flexion/extension; abduction/adduction; internal/external rotation)
