ABSTRACT
Introduction: Strengthening exercises have been routinely used in persons with orthopaedic problems
and athletes to increase force production or minimize muscle imbalance and joint injuries.Many studies
have reported that isometric contractions can rapidly increases strength in quadriceps muscle.
Objective: Objective of the study was to find out the effect of isometric strengthening exercise on
strength of quadriceps at 45 and 90 degree of knee joint and also to compare the effect of strengthening
exercise on strength of quadriceps at multiple angles of knee joi
