Interventions

BEHAVIORALisokinetic strength training of knee extensor and flexor muscles

Patients underwent an isokinetic strength training program with 3 sessions per week during five weeks. Program consists of excentric contraction of knee flexor and extensor muscles (4 x 7 Contractions at 30°/s) and concentric contractions at maximal speed where patients can perform 40% of his maximal isometric torque for knee flexor and extensor muscles (2x10 for knee flexors and 2x10 for knee extensors)
