How Does Dynamometer in Physical Therapy Work at ATI?

At ATI Physical Therapy, our isokinetic specialists design a comprehensive evaluation and treatment plan for each patient. The process typically involves a series of controlled movements on the dynamometer, measuring force output at different speeds and angles.

Frequently Asked Questions About Isokinetic Dynamometry

We understand that patients often have questions about our isokinetic dynamometry services. Our experienced specialists are here to provide clarity and assist you in making informed decisions about your assessment and treatment. Here are some common questions:

Unlike manual muscle testing or free weights, isokinetic dynamometry provides precise, objective measurements of muscle force at controlled speeds. This allows for a more accurate assessment of strength imbalances and functional deficits, guiding more targeted rehabilitation strategies.

The testing process is generally not painful. You’ll be asked to exert maximum effort during certain tests, which may cause temporary muscle fatigue. Our skilled physiotherapists ensure proper positioning and guidance throughout the assessment to maximize comfort and safety.

A comprehensive assessment usually takes 60-90 minutes, including setup, testing, and initial interpretation of results. Follow-up sessions for rehabilitation may be shorter, focusing on specific exercises tailored to your needs.

While most commonly used for knee and shoulder assessments, modern dynamometers can evaluate various joints including the ankle, hip, elbow, and wrist. Your physiotherapist will determine the most appropriate applications based on your specific condition and goals.
