Isotonic contraction results in shortening of the muscle, leading to movement.
In Isometric contraction, as the name implies, there is no change in length of the muscle. Thus, it can't lead to any movement.
However, Isometric contraction adds or removes power from a movement, thus facilitating or retarding it.
This, facilitation and retardation itself gives us a feeling of movement, for example walking, even in the total absence of actual movement i.e. walking.
This feeling of movement induced by isometric contraction is known as Isometric movement.
We use isometric movements in thinking and dreaming.

What is isometric strength?
Isometric stretches are when your muscles are contracted and held that way. It is the opposite of dynamic stretching where your muscles are lengthening and contracting. An example of an isometric stretch is the plank; where you're resting on your forearms and your toes. Your abdominal muscles are being contracted but there is no lengthening and contracting movement. Dynamic stretching would be doing a pushup.
