Isokinetics is currently the reference technique for muscle force assessment and training. The effectiveness of the isokinetic method and its safety for patients, on the basis of our experience, depends on the factors analyzed. 1. The quantitative and analytical characteristics of isokinetic training, generally performed as an open chain event, reduces the field of application. 2. Certain isokinetic parameters must be considered with precaution due to the lack of reprocucibility of specificity. 3. The importance of correctly defining indications for isokinetic tests is emphasized by the number of incidences of variable gravity that occurred in our centre, illustrating the potential risk of excentric contraction.
