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 …

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is widely recognized as a chronic joint disease characterized by
degeneration of knee cartilage and subsequent bone hyperplasia. However, it is important …

Abstract The Gluteus Maximus (GM) muscle is the largest and most powerful in the human
body. It plays an important role in optimal functioning of the human movement system as …

Isotonic testing and measures of rapid power production are emerging as functionally
relevant test methods for detection of muscle aging. Our objective was to assess reliability of …

Objectives Patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) experience hip pain as well as
decreased function and lowered quality of life. The aim was to compare maximal isometric …

Background This study aimed to analyze the reliability of concentric isokinetic strength
assessments (knee and hip) using the Biodex System 4 in healthy children and assess the …

A musculoskeletal (MSK) model is a valuable tool for assessing complex biomechanical
