Abstract
Isokinetics systems are now a leading technology for assessing muscle strength and diagnosing muscle injuries. Although expensive, these systems are equipped with computer interfaces that provide only a simple graphical display of the strength data and do not interpret the data. This paper presents the I4 System (Interface for Intelligent Interpretation of Isokinetic Data), developed as a knowledge-based system, which provides an expert knowledge-based analysis of the isokinetic curves. The system was later extended with a KDD architecture for characterising injuries and creating reference models.
