Table 1.
Data of hip and knee extension and flexion peak torques measured during isokinetic testing in concentric and eccentric modes.
| Mean (SD) | Range (Min-Max) | |
|---|---|---|
| KNEE EXTENSION | ||
| Concentric | 2.68 (0.22) | 2.36–3.24 |
| Eccentric | 3.92 (0.58) | 3.08–4.79 |
| KNEE FLEXION | ||
| Concentric | 1.73 (0.34) | 1.11–2.41 |
| Eccentric | 2.29 (0.47) | 1.57–3.55 |
| HIP EXTENSION | ||
| Concentric | 2.55 (0.42) | 1.85–3.28 |
| Eccentric | 3.36 (1.08) | 1.83–5.62 |
| HIP FLEXION | ||
| Concentric | 2.28 (0.33) | 1.82–2.87 |
| Eccentric | 2.97 (0.79) | 2.02–4.26 |
| KNEE RATIOS (%) | ||
| Conventional | 64.7 (11.8) | 42.6–85.0 |
| Functional | 85.7 (16.5) | 60.5–124 |
All peak torque data are normalized to body mass and expressed in N.m.kg−1. Conventional ratio is computed as knee flexion divided by knee extension concentric peak torque. Functional ratio is computed as knee flexion torque in eccentric mode divided by knee extension torque in concentric mode.
