2.6. Isokinetic Muscle Strength Test
The isokinetic muscle strengths of the ankle joint and knee joint were quantified using an IsoMed 2000 Dynamometer (D. & R. Ferstl GmbH, Hemau, Germany). Before commencing the test, the participants completed 3 duplicate practice trials. The protocol included an ankle and knee joint flexion and extension ability test at angular velocities of 60°/s and 180°/s, with 5 repetitions.
