Effect of isokinetic training on quadriceps peak torgue in healthy subjects and patients with burn injury.

Objective: To evaluate the improvement rate of quadriceps muscle peak torque in healthy subjects and patients with burn injuries after an isokinetic training programme.

Subjects: Thirty male volunteers, 15 healthy and 15 subjects with burn injury after complete healing, participated in the study.

Methods: Concentric and eccentric torque of quadriceps was measured for both groups using an isokinetic dynamometer before and after 6 weeks of isokinetic training.
