The Validity of a Portable Strain-Gauge Apparatus Versus a Commercial Isokinetic Dynamometer for Evaluating Knee Extension Kinetics by Dustin Oranchuk, Chris Juneau, Shelley Diewald, Jono Neville, John Cronin

“… # Methods Healthy participants (8 males and 6 females; age 30.2±7.1 years) volunteered and performed knee extensions at a 90° knee angle on a dynamometer and a treatment plinth with a portable strain-gauge. Peak force (PF), peak rate of force development (PRFD), rate of force development (RFD~2080~) and impulse (IMP~2080~) from 20-80% of onset to peak force were assessed using both strain-gauge and isokinetic dynamometer. …”
