Applications of Isokinetics in Neuromuscular Disorders
(2025) p.376-386- Abstract
Neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) are disorders of the motor unit (motor neuron diseases, diseases of the peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junction diseases, and diseases affecting the muscle fibers). A common denominator of these diseases is muscle atrophy and progressive weakness. Quantitative assessments of muscle function are therefore essential to follow disease progression, to understand the association with variables of importance for daily living, and to evaluate potential treatments and rehabilitation interventions. Isokinetics allow objective and valid measurements, can be used across the spectrum of disability, and can detect small changes over time or as a result of therapeutic interventions.
