Had an absolute blast of a day with these awesome physios filming hip strength testing using #dynamometry, exploring what’s possible, repeatable & can be standardised in clinic just using a plinth.

Some tension & compression dynamometer options.

All videos feature in my course

I’m often asked which dynamometer to buy & about testing in rehab.
1st response -what data do you want to obtain?
2nd- why do you want it?

Do you want to use data in decision making, or as a motivational aid?

Answer this THEN we can consider which tool 👍🏻

A muscle’s contractile history influences its subsequent performance.

Doesn’t always have to be negative. We can use potentiating mechanisms in clinical practice to overcome inhibition, or augment RFD & Power-based rehab👍🏻

Fab first day teaching S&C to a brilliant group of physios today
at Plymouth hospital
Day 1 - strength 💪🏻

Here another
Physio Kinvent Pull dynamometer. What’s the sampling frequency?

1️⃣ 40 Hz
2️⃣ 125 Hz
3️⃣ 1000 Hz

Question for you…
What’s the sampling frequency of the Lafayette HHD - used in many research papers ?

Sampling frequency = number of data points obtained obtained per second

1️⃣ 40Hz
2️⃣ 125 Hz
3️⃣ 1000Hz

(See if you can avoid looking it up 😉)

With so many dynamometers on the market to choose from, which do you pick? 🤔

Fantastic day teaching a brilliant team of physios strength & conditioning… & how to incorporate into rehab 🤔
