Criterion-Related Validity of Knee Joint-Position-Sense Measurement Using Image Capture and Isokinetic Dynamometry

Criterion-related validity of knee joint-position-sense measurement using image capture and isokinetic dynamometry.

CONTEXT Clinicians require portable, valid, and cost-effective methods to monitor knee joint-position-sense (JPS) ability. OBJECTIVE To examine the criterion-related validity of image-capture JPS measures against an isokinetic-dynamometer (IKD) procedure. DESIGN Random crossover design providing a comparison of knee JPS measures from image capture and IKD procedures. PARTICIPANTS 10 healt...

The effect of hip joint position on knee joint isokinetic dynamometry indices in football and track and field athletes

Isokinetic dynamometry of the knee extensors and flexors in

  Background :This paper explores the gender-related bilateral differences of extensor and flexor torques of the knee joint at low and high angular velocities in Iranian healthy males and females.   Methods : 70 healthy subjects (29 males (26.61±4.34 yrs and 41 females with average age of 23.07±3.70 yrs)) were participated in this study. Isokinetic peak torque values for knee extensors and flex...

Interexaminer, intraexaminer and test-retest reliability of clinical knee joint-position-sense measurements using an image-capture technique.

CONTEXT Knee joint-position sense (JPS) plays a critical role in controlled and stable joint movement. Poor ability to sense position of the knee can therefore increase risk of injury. There is no agreed consensus on JPS measurement techniques and a lack of reliability statistics on methods. OBJECTIVE To identify the most reliable knee JPS measurement technique using image capture. DESIGN I...

Absolute Reliability and Concurrent Validity of Hand Held Dynamometry and Isokinetic Dynamometry in the Hip, Knee and Ankle Joint: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

The purpose of the study is to establish absolute reliability and concurrent validity between hand-held dynamometers (HHDs) and isokinetic dynamometers (IDs) in lower extremity peak torque assessment. Medline, Embase, CINAHL databases were searched for studies related to psychometric properties in muscle dynamometry. Studies considering standard error of measurement SEM (%) or limit of agreemen...
