Abstract :
During a training or rehabilitation session on an isokinetic machine for lower limbs also known as dynamometer, it´s necessary to know the real muscular effort by compensating the gravity or undesirable dynamic effects. Thus, the aim of this work is to give a theoretical study and experimentally evaluation of two gravity correction methods. We´ll then discuss the advantages and drawbacks of each method and give new trends to follow in this domain
