In this fully revised third edition of Isokinetics: Muscle Testing, Interpretation and Clinical Applications, a group of international experts cover the main developments that have taken place in the field of isokinetics in the last 20 years. Isokinetic dynamometry is well recognized as the standard in assessing muscular strength status and particularly its variation following intervention. Key features of this Third Edition;

• New chapter on multiple joint isokinetic testing

• New chapter on isokinetic reconditioning in the clinical setting

• New chapter on isokinetics in neurological disorders

• New chapter on isokinetics in neuromuscular diseases

• New chapter on isokinetic testing and training in the elderly

• New chapter on isokinetic testing in children

Isokinetics Third Edition provides a wealth of essential information for those especially concerned with the assessment of muscle function due to disease or injury and its rehabilitation. This fully revised book is essential reading for orthopedic and sports physicians, neurologists, physical therapists, exercise physiologists and related professionals who will find the 3rd edition an important clinical reference for their effective practice.
