Abstract
This review of the scientific literature on isokinetic and isoinertial testing of dynamic trunk strength related to low back pain using "iso-machines" identified 108 items published in the past decade. There was inadequate scientific evidence to support the use of iso-machines in preemployment screening, routine clinical assessment or medico-legal evaluation.
