Experimental verification tests of isokinetic equipment used in sport and rehabilitation

Abstract

Abstrakt The paper deals with experimental verification of selected types of tests on isokinetic, diagnostic IsoForce2 training equipment. The isokinetic device provides accurate and immediate information about the developed strength in the exerciser's movement. The main criterion is its versatility when used in sport or rehabilitation. Therefore, it was necessary to create a portable adjustable structure that allows all the movements to be carried out and must meet other specific requirements. An important information is the amount of data collected, which is collected through the measurement system and then analyzed. The first test was elbow flexion, which was verified in arm-wrestling. The second test was knee flexion, which tested patients in rehabilitation after knee surgery to determine the difference in maximum strength between the lower limbs. The results of measurements are accurate, repeatable and provide athletes, patients, coaches and physiotherapists with immediate information about the level of strength abilities in a given type of test or movement.
