Isokinetic Testing

AIsokinetic testing is an extremely important tool for assessing muscle performance.

This examination is carried out using a computerised isokinetic dynamometer, which provides precise data on muscle capacity and any imbalances.
Based on these reports, the specialist will design effective rehabilitation programmes.

This assessment is still not widely used in Portugal, as it is more commonly used in sports. However, its importance is relevant for pre- and post-operative physical rehabilitation and for monitoring the progress of the rehabilitation/training programmes established.

The isokinetic test can also be used as a training tool for professional or recreational athletes who want to improve their skills.

Our physical and rehabilitation medicine and sports medicine specialists monitor patients during the examination, rather than leaving such an important examination to a technician.
