Description
Practical and easy-to-use, this text covers the theoretical background of clinical isokinetics and its practical applications in the field
of muscle performance and rehabilitation. It examines the methodology and its use in relation to muscle conditioning and rehabilitation.
The content also offers detailed coverage of isokinetic dynamometry (measuring muscle strength and function) in relation to the muscle
systems of the major joints.
Audience
Researchers, post grad students and practitioners working with physical assessment and rehabilitation i.e.:
- Sports medicine practitioners
and sports trainers
- Physiotherapists
- Podiatrists
- Occupational therapy/occupational medicine practitioners
- Ergonomists
- Bioengineers
