Isokinetic strength training in below-knee amputees

Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine, 1989
Eight below-knee amputees performed isokinetic training of knee extensor- and knee-flexor muscles for a period of 8-12 weeks at angular velocities of 60 degrees/s, 180 degrees/s and 240 degrees/s. Before and after training isokinetic and isometric knee extensor/flexor strength was measured.

Can isokinetic muscle strength training with hip abduction and adduction improve muscle strength, balance, and gait in patients with functional ankle instability? A randomized controlled trial

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Previous studies have confirmed that patients with functional ankle instability (FAI) have inadequate hip abductor muscle strength. Muscle strength training is a commonly used intervention in people with FAI.

Treatment With the Shaker Head‐Lift Exercise in Head and Neck Cancer Patients With Radiation‐Induced Dysphagia: 12‐Month Results on Swallowing Function From a Randomized, Controlled Trial

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dysphagia is a common side‐effect after radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients. This randomized study aimed to evaluate the effect of the shaker head‐lift exercise (HLE) after 12 months with flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). Methods Patients were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 30) or the control

Isokinetic leg muscle strength relationship to dynamic balance reflects gymnast-specific differences in adolescent females

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Balance, together with other motor qualities, plays an important role in the successful execution of specific gymnastic skills. However, it is also not clear whether different demands on dynamic balance and power produced by lower limb can be observed in
