Performance tests for the posterior chain: Comparison of three different assessment methods
In terms of strength measurement of the hamstrings, the IPCT can be used as an alternative to isokinetic measurements. Limb asymmetries should not be assessed with either the IPCT or the Bunkie Test when focusing on bare knee flexion strength. The aforementioned tests cannot - or only partially - be used interchangeably and should instead be used in addition to each other.
