Isokinetic dynamometry offers distinct advantages, both clinically and for research, in the evaluation and treatment of muscle performance. The concepts of isokinetic muscle contractions are outlined and the operation and utilization of isokinetic dynamometers explained. The literature examining the reliability and validity of isokinetic protocols is reviewed. Application of this modality is discussed both from the clinical and research perspective. The existing, but limited, literature on isokinetic dynamometry with the upper limb is reviewed, and recommendations are made as to areas requiring further investigation.
