Medical Definition of Isometric

1. 1. Of equal dimensions. 2. In physiology, denoting the condition when the ends of a contracting muscle are held fixed so that contraction produces increased tension at a constant overall length. Compare: auxotonic, isotonic, isovolumic. Origin: iso-+ G. Metron, measure (05 Mar 2000)
