  Abstract:  The muscular imbalance between the agonist and the antagonist muscles was suggested as being a possible cause of knee injury occurred during sport practices. One of the most frequent methods used so as to determine the muscular balance between the agonist and the antagonist muscles is the isokinetic testing. The muscular resistance of the quadriceps and hamstrings can be evaluated through the isokinetic testing, providing a calculation of the torque generated by the quadriceps and the hamstrings, in report with the force. Introducing isokinetic protocols in the rehabilitation of the articulation affection is necessary so as to have a better balance between the agonist and the antagonist muscles. Due to a controlled and constant movement the inertial moment is avoided.

Keywords: knee rehabilitation, isokinetic testing, isokinetic protocols, isokinetic dynamometer
