ASSESSMENT OF ISOMETRIC AND ISOKINETIC ANKLE STRENGTH MEASURES: A PILOT STUDY.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate isometric and isokinetic ankle strength in of dorsiflexion (DF), plantar flexion (PF), inversion (INV), and eversion (EVE) in healthy individuals. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with individuals aged 18 to 60 years, of both sexes. The Lafayette® isometric manual dynamometer was used to evaluate isometric strength, the Humac Norm® isokinetic dynamometer to evaluate isokinetic strength, and the IPAQ questionnaire (International Physical Activity Questionnaire) for the level of physical activity. Statistical analysis compared sex, dominance, and physical activity level with isometric and isokinetic strengths using the Spearman coefficient and the Mann-Whitney test. Results: There was a difference between genders for dominant and non-dominant limbs in isokinetic strength and not in isometric strength. There was a difference between isokinetic strength variables and physical activity levels. The isokinetic strength of dominant PF (p=0.0153), non-dominant (p=0.0287), and non-dominant INV (p=0.0183) demonstrated that very active individuals have a higher torque peak than irregularly active and sedentary individuals. Conclusion: The results demonstrated greater isokinetic strength in men than in women and active individuals compared to sedentary ones. However, it was not possible to establish an association between isometric and isokinetic ankle measurements. Level of Evidence IV, Cross-Sectional Study.
