Article Title: Isokinetic eccentric vs. concentric training for functional ankle instability: a randomized controlled trial

doi: 10.1186/s13018-025-06194-0

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Biodex System 4 Pro ® isokinetic dynamometer. This isokinetic dynamometer provides controlled angular velocity and precisely measures ankle joint muscle performance, including peak torque and strength ratios. ( B ) Isokinetic training and test of ankle joint muscle strength. The participant was seated with the knee flexed at 45° and the ankle positioned at neutral (0°), ensuring proper alignment of the lower limb with the dynamometer’s axis of rotation for training and testing

Article Snippet: To ensure accurate alignment, the mechanical axis of the Biodex dynamometer was carefully aligned with the anatomical axis of the ankle joint (approximately at the lateral malleolus) for each participant, following manufacturer instructions.
