Biodex Isokinetic Testing

Biodex Laxity

Isokinetic testing and strengthening is a valuable tool for Foundry Sports Medicine that allows the physical therapists and athletic trainers to mimic the forces and torque that is placed on the human body while playing sports. When doing an Isokinetic exercise the speed is constant, and the patient’s movement will create a computer printout that can be analyzed to determine ratios such as force to body weight and involved versus un-involved. There are published normal data that a patient’s data can be compared to, in order to assess readiness to return to sports.
