title: The value of isokinetic exercise and testing in burn rehabilitation and determination of back-to-work status.
abstract: Determination of work capability may require assessment of function at speeds consistent with the patient's workday requirements. Standard isotonic physical therapy techniques do not adequately test strength, power, and endurance. Isokinetic training and testing improve both outcome and assessment.
