SPN: An isokinetic testing and evaluation system is a rehabilitative exercise device intended for medical purposes, such as to measure, evaluate, and increase the strength of muscles and the range of motion of joints.,UMD: Exercisers designed to guide, measure, and assess the performance of all major muscle groups in four kinds of muscle activity: passive (movement without exertion), isometric (exertion without movement), isokinetic (variable exertion at a constant rate of movement), and isotonic (constant exertion at a variable rate of movement). These exercisers include an exercise station that provides some form of resistance (e.g., hydraulic, electric, weights) to the muscular force applied for the patient and a computerized unit that controls the sequence and duration of the exercise plan and monitors and assesses the patient's performance and progress. Computerized dynamometric exercisers are used for exercise and physical rehabilitation of weakened or injured muscles and for the assessment of muscle an
