Abstract: A review is given of the possible sources of error to be found when using isokinetic measurement systems. These errors are associated with the subject on whom the measurements are being taken, the person conducting the measurement i.e. the therapist, and the machine itself. Examples of each are given as drawn from the authors own work.
