Computer-controlled isokinetic muscle achievement diagnostics
The isokinetic test system Isomed "2000" of the company
"Dr. Ferstl" serves, primarily, for the regulation of different
strength parametres of the limbs. On this occasion, the strength development
can occur under an agreed motion speed and against an opposition which adapts
itself by means of electronically steered mechanics during the whole motion of
the developed strength (iso = permanent; kinesis = motion).
With this measurement of strength, however, we can measure the isometric and
the eccentric strength abilities in the closed chain (functionally work of your
muscles, only the olympic centers for high performance athletes in germany use the linearadapter).
The most important parametres which are identified with the muscle
achievement diagnosis are among other things:
- the maximum strength (absolutely and in proportion to
the body weight)
- the bilateral comparison (side comparison)
- the eccentric (braking) strength potential
- the muscle speed to reach the maximum force (explosive power)
