Abstract

Modern clinical and sports medicine increasingly uses training and diagnostic equipment. They allow monitoring of the training process, cycle control, and evaluation of the basic parameters. These devices are used to carry out the training process for healthy people as well as for the rehabilitation of persons with impaired organ movement functions. The developed measurement properties allow defining many parameters and biomechanical functions. They can estimate the state of a particular biomechanical group and monitor its efficiency for a long period of time. The main aim of the research was to determine the impact of the type of load on the dynamic parameters during straightening of the knee joint. It compared parameters of the sick and healthy limbs under the influence of a particular load. The article presents the results of measurements of dynamic parameters of the knee joint. Measurements were obtained during the use of different types of loads for healthy people. The second part of the article concerns the comparison of functions in the sick and healthy limbs of the test person.
