    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanics and Sports Medicine
    • Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation

    Background:

    • High re-injury rates and suboptimal return-to-sport percentages after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery necessitate improved objective assessment methods.
    • Current rehabilitation protocols may lack sufficient objective measures to guide critical return-to-play decisions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of isokinetic testing in knee rehabilitation.
    • To discuss the role of isokinetics in objectively assessing muscle function.
    • To elucidate specific testing parameters and goals for knee extension/flexion assessment.

    Main Methods:

    • Isokinetic dynamometry is employed for objective assessment of muscle performance.
    • Focus on key parameters: dynamic muscle strength, power, rate of force development, and endurance.
    • Assessment of knee extension and flexion capabilities.

    Main Results:

    • Isokinetics provides a reliable and objective measure of dynamic muscle function.
    • It is identified as the single best method for assessing strength, power, RFD, and endurance.
    • These objective data are vital for guiding patient progression and return-to-play decisions.

    Conclusions:

    • Isokinetic testing is a necessary component of comprehensive knee rehabilitation.
    • It plays a crucial role in optimizing patient recovery and return-to-sport readiness.
    • Standardized isokinetic assessment protocols are essential for consistent and effective patient management.
