AIsokinetic testing is an extremely important tool for assessing muscle performance.<\/h3>\n

This examination is carried out using a computerised isokinetic dynamometer, which provides precise data on muscle capacity and any imbalances.
\nBased on these reports, the specialist will design effective rehabilitation programmes.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> and for monitoring the progress of the rehabilitation\/training programmes established.<\/p>\n

The isokinetic test can also be used as a training tool for professional or recreational athletes <\/strong>who want to improve their skills.<\/p>\n

Our physical and rehabilitation medicine<\/a>\u00a0and sports medicine<\/a>\u00a0specialists monitor patients during the examination, rather than leaving such an important examination to a technician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
