Abstract
The concept of high speed isokinetic rehabilitation for specific training of fast twitch fibers is gaining popularity. This concept, in combination with studies concerning patellofemoral joint reaction forces, has been utilized to develop a treatment protocol for chondromalacia patellae. A case report of the use of high speed isokinetic quadriceps strengthening in short arc fashion is presented.J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 1983;4(3):176-178.Keywords
