Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Active joint position sense (Joint position sense in Absolute Error (AE) and variable Error (VE)) is measured using the Biodex 3 at baseline 2. Passive joint position sense is measured using the Biodex 3 at baseline 3. Active joint position sense is measured using Biodex 3 after fatigue 4. Passive joint position sense is measured using Biodex 3 after fatigue

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Fatigue Index (Fatigue Index = (initial peak torque - final peak torque) / initial peak torque * 100) is measured using Biodex 3 after first test 2. Work is measured using Biodex 3 after first test 3. Work at first third measured using Biodex 3 after first test 4. Work at last third measured using Biodex 3 after first test
