Abstract: The purpose of this study was to biomechanically analyze the lower extremity during exercise using the Kinetron II (Lumex, Cybex, Ronkonkoma, NY, USA). Two subjects performed a variety of exercise sequences while being recorded on videotape. Video analysis allowed a review of the alterations in joint angles seen at the hip, knee, and ankle. Recommendations for clinical application of the Kinetron II were determined.
