2.  A weight-training/rehabilitation device that produces a movement, at a constant velocity.  Keeps the speed of movement of the muscles being exercised constant, irrespective of the force being applied.  Enables a well-motivated individual to contract the muscles at maximum force at all points in the range of motion.

3.  Isokinetic machines help to develop uniform strengthening of active muscles, improving muscle strength, endurance, cardiovascular fitness through concentric/ecccentric contractions.  Mimics functional speeds during activity & helps reduce functional impairment.

4.  Measures ROM and progress objectively which aims to restores optimal function after injury or surgery.  Uses Biodex software (Humac Norm)  Windows Based OS

7.  Research evidence shows increase in strength  Bone mineral Density  Range of Motion  Functional performance & helps prevents re-injury  Safe because resistance is equal to force applied

8.  Csmi medical solutions.com  Cost 30,000+  Includes Attachments for the ankle, knee, hip, wrist, elbow, shoulder  Isokinetic machines are bulky therefore adequate spacing is recommended.  Should be used by a trained medical professional
