Isokinetic back testing in the athlete.
With increasing numbers of professional, collegiate, and high school athletes developing low back pain, isokinetic back testing could prove to be a way of preventing the development of severe problems and extended stays on injured lists. Isokinetic testing provides an advantage over other testing procedures by more closely simulating the way muscles perform functional activities. This type of testing allows comparison between patients, normals, preoperative and postoperative status, and pre-rehabilitation and post-rehabilitation protocols.
