Messung der isometrischen Dorsalextensions- und Plantarflexions- Kraft in den Sprunggelenken = Measurement of the isometric dorsiflexion and plantar flexion force in the ankle joint

This article describes an easy to use test equipment for measuring the isometric force in the ankle joints in dorsiflexion and plantar flexion. The combination of the test equipment for measuring the voluntary maximal isometric muscle force in the ankle joint, the surface electromyograms and the motion analysis of the measured leg allow an objective comparison of the strength of the muscular force between the left and right leg. It might be also used as a control setup during rehabilitation after surgical treatment or injuries.
