Abstract
Apparatus and procedures for the measurement of isokinetic, isometric and isotonic strength of the knee and elbow extensors and flexors, plantar flexors and hand grip muscles of the intact human body is presented. Special attention is given to immobilization of the proximal body segments and the biomechanical characteristics of joint and muscle groups being measured. Estimates of the reliability of the apparatus and procedure was found to be high indicating good ability to discriminate muscle strength among subjects on the selected muscle groups. (Author)Keywords
