Systematic review confirms that isokinetic testing is reliable for measuring ankle strength, indicating the need for standardized protocols.
Isokinetic dynamometry, especially in isometric testing, demonstrated the most consistent reliability and the lowest measurement error. When unavailable, hand-held dynamometers offers a reliable field alternative for isometric testing. One-repetition maximum methods may be used for dynamic strength evaluation, despite higher measurement error. Protocol parameters influencing measurement error and interrater reliability should be standardized to improve measurement reproducibility.
