Isokinetic testing serves as a principal outcome measure for a new surgical intervention.
Prof. Dvir's Commentary:
I have chosen this paper as PoM #7 for two reasons:
First, using isokinetic dynamometry (ISD) for assessing surgical outcomes is not...
Multiple-joint isokinetic dynamometry receives a fresh look which includes a new classification system, critical examination of its main input parameters and a summary of findings derived from 40 studies.
It is not the...
Certain parameters that have been used for a long time in quantifying induced isokinetic fatigue were put to test and challenged in this Belgian-French collaborative study. Although the reported low reproducibility renders some of these parameters...
A large scale Swiss study of post recovery of quadriceps and hamstrings strength following ACL reconstruction, indicates that overall, a patellar tendon autograft is a better option than its hamstring counterpart.

Using isokinetic testing for assessing thigh muscle function following ACL reconstruction or in patients with chronic ACL insufficiency occupies an important niche in the scientific-clinical literature. The latest Papers of the Month (PoM) add new...
Different derivatives of the peak moment indicate significant association between strength and function in elderly individuals.
For the 2nd Paper of the Month I chose to include two papers, one from the US and one from...
Eccentric vs. concentric isokinetic training: A new study from Japan may get us closer to solving a long and complicated debate.
The paper by Maeo et al was selected to appear as the first "Paper of the Month" due to its...
