A clinical reference text covering the theoretical background of clinical isokinetics and its practical applications in the field of muscle performance and rehabilitation. It looks at the methodology of isokinetics, its use in relation to muscle conditioning and rehabilitation as well as giving detailed coverage of isokinetic dynamometry(measuring muscle strength and function) in relation to the muscle systems of the major joints.
