Effects of isoinertial training on muscle power, endurance, isometric strength, and balance: randomized clinical trial in patients with post-ACL reconstruction

Patra RC, Gupta S, Yashudas A, et al.

Read the paper
Design
96 of 136 randomised patients aged 18 to 45, three weeks after ACL reconstruction: six weeks of conventional rehabilitation with (47) or without (49) isoinertial training.
Device
Desmotec D11 Plus flywheel ergometer, used for the isoinertial training (half squat) and for testing before and after.
Reported results
  • Both groups improved in isometric strength, balance, and concentric and eccentric power.
  • The isoinertial group gained significantly more eccentric power (p = 0.0001).
  • Isometric strength, balance and concentric power did not differ between groups.
