Medical usesEdit

Isometric exercises can also be used at the bedside to differentiate various heart murmurs; the murmur of mitral regurgitation gets louder^[6] as compared to the quieter murmur of aortic stenosis.^[7] They can also be used to prevent disuse syndrome in a limb that has been immobilized by a cast following a fracture.
