Description
Summary:National Institute of Aging; University of Wisconsin Graduate School. Isokinetic equipment is used for measuring muscular strength for both experimental and rehabilitative purposes. In this study two LIDO(R) isokinetic dynamometer systems, the LIDO-digital and the LIDO-active, were compared at 60, 180, 240, and 300 degrees /see for peak torque (PT) and average work output (WO) of knee flexion and extension. Twenty-five elderly women (age range = 65-86) were tested on both systems within seven days. The data were compared by using a repeated measures ANOVA followed by a Dunn-Bonferroni posthoc comparison (p
