Examination of muscle strength and stability

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

Subject and scope of tests:

  1. Tests of muscle strength level in static and dynamic conditions (isokinetics), Concentric or eccentric work – of representative muscle groups (Biodex System3).
  2. Tests of muscle strength level in static and quasi-static conditions on measurement stations equipped in momentometers (JBA Zb. Staniak, Poland).
  3. 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.
  1. 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).
  1. Tests of foot pressure foot distribution:
    • in static conditions (midi Capteurs, System Foot Scan RSScan),
      • in dynamic conditions – walking (System Foot Scan RSScan).
  1. 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.
