ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for exercising or testing the rotary torso muscles in which the chest and shoulder area of the subject is secured against movement while the pelvis is also secured against movement to isolate the rotary torso muscles for testing or exercise. The subject while so secured and seated exerts a force with the rotary torso muscles to rotate a movement arm about a vertical axis against a resistance suitably chosen from a weight stack to be less than the maximum static strength of said muscles. The subject then returns to the starting position and repeats the exercise until the rotary torso muscles can no longer rotate the movement arm. The subject's static strength is measured by fixing the movement arm in several different angular positions and measuring the force exerted by said muscles on the movement arm in each of said positions.
