Isokinetic Dynamometer part 2
Uncategorized November 18th, 2009So went to see my physio today and had a go on this fancy machine. Really is a neat piece of kit, it basically measures your strength and can compare good from bad. You do a series of tests comparing strength, speed and endurance. My results told me that my bad leg is 37% weaker than my good and can take 91% of my body weight. My good leg can take 150%.
It now allows my physio to calculate exactly what exercises I need to crack on with an aim to get me to 100% as quickly and safely as possible.
Its expensive, I am not on insurance and it costs £100 a session but I think well worth it. Its not usually available in any private or NHS physios so this is fairly unique around where I live anyway. I am back on Friday to get my detailed set of exercises…
All the best

Hi Graham,
How are you getting on with heel raises - they are almost impossible for me at the mo!
