Isokinetic testing can strain the cardiovascular system, with nearly 6% of patients showing abnormalities in blood pressure, heart rate, or cardiac electrical activity during assessments. Careful patient screening and monitoring are essential before and during these tests.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Physiology
  • Exercise Physiology
  • Biomechanics

Context:

  • Isokinetic testing is widely used for muscle function and joint disorder assessment.
  • These tests significantly stimulate the cardiovascular system.
  • Potential risks of cardiovascular or vascular impairment exist during isokinetic exercises.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the risk of cardiovascular or vascular impairment during isokinetic knee extension and flexion tests.
  • To assess the impact of isokinetic testing on cardiac electrical activity, heart rate, and blood pressure.

Summary:

  • Cardiac electrical activity, heart rate, and blood pressure were monitored in 251 patients during 50-second isokinetic tests.
  • Abnormal findings (5.9%) included altered blood pressure, cardiac electrical activity, and heart rate.

  • Maximal heart rates reached 199 bpm, with over 36% exceeding 190 bpm, indicating significant cardiovascular stress.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the necessity for thorough pre-test patient assessment.
    • Emphasizes the importance of continuous cardiovascular monitoring during isokinetic testing.
    • Underscores the need for medical surveillance to mitigate potential risks associated with these diagnostic procedures.
