Validity of lower extremity strength and power utilizing a new closed chain dynamometer
Article Abstract:
This article compares measures of lower extremity kinetics during seated exercise taken using a isokinetic dynamometer and a closed chain dynamometer. Results indicate that measures of crank power, peak knee torques, and joint kinetics were comparable but the closed chain system was better at evaluating exercise kinetics at higher speeds.
