| Summary: | Prohibitive costs technologically advanced dynamometers need not dissuade rehabilitationists from making useful assessments of musculo-skeletal performance in clinical settings. The use of simple strain-gauge measures of isometric torque is demonstrated using knee flexor-extensor capacities, dominance ratios, contralateral asymmetries and sexual dimorphism ratios. Functional restoration of knee-injured active young adults, using normative charts as a data base, is a cheap and feasible option. |
