They are important for maintaining posture.
Activities such as planks, wall sits, and holding a weight in a static position engage muscles in an isometric contraction.
Most body movements involve isotonic muscle contractions: the muscle fibers either lengthen or shorten as they contract.An isometric contraction involves the muscle fibers staying the same length. Holding something steady, or pushing against a brick wall, are examples of isometric contraction.
An isometric contraction is when your muscles contract but there is no movement. To do one you just need to apply a force to an immovable object. In the strength training sense it is done typically using a power rack or weight lifting cage. The isometric contraction is done typically at the most difficult point of a isotonic lift and is held for 8-12 seconds at maximum exertion. The support pins of the power rack are set at the desired height and a steel bar is then pushed against them to perform the isometric contraction.
Proprioception deficits can lead to muscle twitching because the brain may have difficulty interpreting the signals it receives from the muscles, resulting in erratic muscle movements or twitches. This disruption in communication between the muscles and the brain can cause involuntary contractions or spasms in the affected muscles.
No! It is isotonic. But if the muscle contracts and the fibers do not shorten because the load is greater than the force applied to it, it is isometric.

There is an English word isometric. Isometric can be used such as in isometric exercises. In these exercises, they can be done at a desk or other similar furniture, where the person could, for example, pull his stomach in and out, or tighten his thigh muscles, without moving the rest of his body and therefore no one knowing that he was practicing isometric exercises.
isostatic is also known as isometric stretching and it is used to help increase flexibility by elongating your muscles
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.

When lifting a weight off of the floor it's best to use the muscles in your hips primarily, but your back muscles are used in an isometric contraction to keep the spine in the same position as you lift.
