Abstract
Objective
We tested peak torques of knee extensors and knee flexors using an isokinetic dynamometer (Cybex model 770) in middle-aged and aged populations, and calculated functional hamstring: quadriceps ratios (H/Q ratios) and conventional hamstring: quadriceps ratios. We present the normative data of these parameters in decade age groups for both sexes.


Method
Using an isokinetic dynamometer we determined the peak torques of knee extensors and knee flexors at angular velocities of 30, 60 and 180 degrees/sec in normal people (120 males, 154 females in the age range 31 to 70 years) and using these peak torque values to calculate functional H/Q ratios and conventional H/Q ratios.


Results
Normative data were presented. As age increased, the magnitudes of the peak torques of most knee flexors and knee extensors decreased, but conventional and functional H/Q ratios were not found to be significantly correlated with age in either sex.


Conclusion
Normative data by decade age in both sexes were obtained. It is hoped that this data will be beneficial for the testing of knee joint function.
