There is no bilateral deficit of torque and rate of torque development of knee extensors during isometric exertion when measured by two independent isokinetic machines

ConclusionAs isometric BDI was zero for torque and RTDs of bilateral showed not to be significantly different of unilateral, it is suggested that there is no BD during isometric test. As isometric and concentric BDI did not correlates, it is carefully suggested that isometric BDI may be accounted for intrinsic random error of measurement, while different mechanism may impact the BDI during non-stationary actions, and further studies with appropriate design should test such hypotheses.
