Methods The study included 18 teenagers, mean age of 12.75 +/1.66 affected by a progressed idiopathic scoliosis, with mean Cobb angle of 29 +/10 degrees at Risser 0 to 3. A Cybex dynamometer was used to measure isokinetic trunk, and knee muscle strength, before the start of orthopedic treatment and 6 months after treatment commenced. The isokinetic parameters measured were the maximum momentum ...

OBJECTIVES vitamin D is important for muscle function and it affects different aspects of muscle metabolism. This study aim to determine whether serum 25(OH) D levels are related to lung functions, physical performance and balance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS in 90 patients with COPD and 57 healthy controls lung function tests, physical performance te...

[Purpose] This study aimed to investigate the effect of peculiar complex core balance training on the isokinetic muscle function of the knee joint and lumbus to provide fundamental data for establishing a training program that focuses on improving the performance and prevention of injury by developing the core and low extremity muscles. [Subjects and Methods] The participants in this study incl...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate whether low-level laser (light) therapy (LLLT) can provide fatigue resistance via maximum repetitions (RM) with an isokinetic dynamometer, and decrease electromyography fatigue index (EFI). BACKGROUND DATA LLLT has been used to increase muscle performance when applied before or after intense exercises. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study w...

BACKGROUND Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are subject to progressive reduction of muscle mass and strength. The aim of this study was to assess muscle forces and electromyography (EMG) indices in short and long-term diabetes during an isokinetic exercise. METHODS The peak torque, work, mean power frequency (MPF) and root mean square (RMS) of knee flexors and extensors during 40...

OBJECTIVE The objective was to determine the effect of trunk focused neuromuscular training (TNMT) on hip and knee strength. The hypothesis was that TNMT would increase standing isokinetic hip abduction, but not knee flexion/extension, strength. METHODS 21 high-school female volleyball players (14 TMNT, mean age 15.4 (1.4) years, weight 170.5 (5.0) cm, height 64.1 (8.5) kg and 7 controls, mea...

CONTEXT Isokinetic assessment of shoulder internal-(IR) and external-rotator (ER) strength is commonly used with many different postures (sitting, standing, or supine) and shoulder positions (frontal or scapular plane with 45° or 90° of abduction). OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review to determine the influence of position on the intersession reliability of the assessment of IR and ER iso...

Abstract Muscle fatigue is a limiting factor of human performance. It unclear whether sex-based differences in fatigability exist during dynamic exercise varying velocities contraction. We aimed at exploring sex muscle elicited by maximal isokinetic contractions performed different angular velocities. Twenty-six healthy participants (13 men: 23.2 ± 1.5; 13 women: 21.9 3.0 years) were tested for...

Methods: Data involving patients diagnosed with an ACL tear and eligible for surgery were recorded. Isokinetic muscle strength, functional muscle performance, and anterior-posterior translation of the knee joint were documented preoperatively and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively. Patients completed the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Lysholm, and Tegner rating scal...
