Muscular strength is generally measured using either of the following methods, one repetition maximum (1RM) of a weight-lifting exercise, a resisted maximal effort and portable or laboratory-based dynamometry. The 1RM method refers to measurements of maximum strength using a strength training device such as a barbell or stationary weight-lifting machine. Dynamometry can be divided into two sepa...

BACKGROUND Isokinetic dynamometry is a useful tool to objectively assess muscle strength of children and adults in athletic and rehabilitative settings. This study examined test-retest reliability of isokinetic knee strength measurements in children aged 8 to 10 years and defined limits for the minimum difference (MD) in strength that indicates a clinically important change. HYPOTHESIS Isokin...

ABSTRACT Introduction: The assessment of biomechanical changes related to the lower limbs is necessary in clinical practice measure potential risks injury and influences on existing dysfunction. Biomechanical previous ankle injuries are known influence performance entire limb. Objective: aim this study was correlate muscle strength tests, tests stability with Single Hop Test (SHT). Methods: 82 ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the functional outcome among patients with distal biceps injuries who were operated using the Mayo mini-double route technique, with a minimum follow-up of six months after surgery, through digital isokinetic dynamometry, goniometry and subjective scores in order to establish objective and subjective improvement patterns and discuss the effectiveness of the procedure. ME...

We present here an unusual case of a sequential avulsion fracture of the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS), occurring first in the right and then the left AIIS, during long jump attempts. The case of a 17 year old boy with pain around his right groin, which first occurred during a long jump attempt, is presented. Radiographic examination revealed an avulsion fracture of the right AIIS. After...
