Examination of muscle strength and stability

Division/Department: Division of Biomechanics of the University School of Physical Education

biomech lab

Subject and scope of tests:

Tests of muscle strength level in static and dynamic conditions (isokinetics), Concentric or eccentric work – of representative muscle groups (Biodex System3).

Tests of muscle strength level in static and quasi-static conditions on measurement stations equipped in momentometers (JBA Zb. Staniak, Poland).

Dynamic tests on dynamometric platforms:

tests of dynamic loads (KISTLER dynamometric platforms),
tests of lower and upper limb and body power, jumping ability tests (Counter Movement Jump, Squat Jump),
load tests (ground reaction force) in any activities.

Tests of stability (postural stability) in static and dynamic conditions in a number of measurement systems:

in static conditions (AMTI platforms, KISTLER platforms),
in dynamic conditions (Biodex Balance platform).

Tests of foot pressure foot distribution:

in static conditions (midi Capteurs, System Foot Scan RSScan),
in dynamic conditions – walking (System Foot Scan RSScan).

Comprehensive analysis of biomechanics of walking:

analysis of kinematics (technique) of walking (8 camera BTS Smart D System),
analysis of strengths generated in support phases of feet, crutches, walking sticks etc. (2 dynamometric AMTI platforms),
neuromuscular co-ordination analysis (electric muscle activity) of representative muscle groups (multi-channel telemetric Noraxon System).

Persons interested in undergoing tests are required to present a doctor’s certificate confirming the lack of contraindications to take part in the tests.

Terms of co-operation: to be agreed
