The disadvantages include the lack of personal training and information for optimal use. The cost of the system is too high to purchase and limits it to the clinician.

Aug 5, 2025 · In the 1970s and 1980s, large lab-based isokinetic systems were (and often still are) considered the gold standard for quantifying muscle torque. But these devices have several …

Oct 6, 2024 · In fact, isokinetic dynamometry has some limitations: it lacks portability, takes up a lot of physical space, requires a high amount of training time for its use, and is expensive for some …

This document discusses isokinetic dynamometry, a tool used in rehabilitation to objectively measure muscle strength. It describes the principles of isokinetic systems, operating modes, programming …

Apr 1, 2024 · To address all these barriers a prototype isokinetic knee dynamometer system has been developed (Figure 2). This device has a very small footprint, only tests knee extension/flexion, and …

Feb 4, 2025 · Isokinetic mode is overwhelmingly used to provide these variables, and has been so for decades; however, this mode may not be the best suited to examine power variables. The article …

Oct 21, 2025 · There are certainly situations where simpler, less expensive testing methods provide adequate information. Hand-held dynamometry, while less precise, costs a fraction of isokinetic …

While numerous studies looked into the requirement of reproducibility, the issue of validity of isokinetic outcome parameters has been accorded lesser attention. This may be explained by the fact that …

Conversely, some cons are that isokinetic dynamometers can be expensive, require specialized training to use effectively, and may not replicate functional or sport-specific movements.

When evaluating quotes and demos, use this checklist to ensure the equipment fits your operational needs. 1. Footprint and Space Efficiency. Real estate in a clinic is expensive. Older systems were …
