The scientific value of isokinetics is highlighted both for sports medicine and sport sciences, enabling sports medicine practitioners to identify the merits of isokinetics and its relevant applications.
The use of isokinetics in injury diagnosis and rehabilitation is outlined with specific illustrations from research data collected at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Special attention is given to assessment of the most commonly injured sites: the knee, ankle, shoulder, and trunk.
The reference offers guidelines for the interpretation of test results along with examples of how to apply the guidelines in designing appropriate rehabilitation programs. A special section is devoted to the use of isokinetics in the assessment of sport performance.
Extensive photographs, charts, and illustrations throughout the reference highlight key points.
