Isokinetic Resistance Mode
Completely accommodating throughout
the entire range of motion
·
Resistance continuously matches effort,
accommodating to variations in patient force
output due to weakness, pain or fatigue at
specific points in the individual's range of motion.
·
By identifying the area that is weak, a targeted
rehabilitation program can be designed.
Targeting and concentrating on the impairment
allows a faster, measurable recovery.
·
The unique impact-free acceleration and
deceleration eliminates joint trauma, allowing
exercise and testing at more functional speeds.
·
Applied torque response ensures limb velocity
increases or decreases in proportion to the
torque applied during acceleration and
deceleration, enabling neuromuscular control
measurements.
·
Choose concentric and eccentric contractions
to perform isolated plyometric exercises.
-
Concentric torque up to 500 ft-lb
-
Eccentric torque up to 400 ft-lb
Isometric Mode
Effectively develop strength and
decrease joint effusion
·
Commonly used pre- and post-operatively or
when pain associated when motion is a factor.
·
Work the agonist, antagonist or both muscles
at specified joint angles.
Passive Motion Mode
Multi-function modality
·
Unique control properties allow for early
intervention throughout all phases of
rehabilitation.
·
Passive speeds can be set as low as
0.25 degrees
per second and as fast as 300 degrees
per second.
·
Ideal for proprioceptive testing Active joint
position testing stimulates joint and muscle
receptors and provides a functional assessment
of afferent pathways.
Isotonic Mode
Restore function
·
Allows velocity to vary while providing
inertia-free constant force and concentric or
eccentric muscular contractions.
·
Higher performance
-
Isotonic force as low as 0.5 ft-lb = 6
inch pound; and as high as 400 ft-lb
·
Selecting force provides protective pre-loading
of the joint prior to movement.
Reactive Eccentric Mode
For submaximal neuromuscular re-education in
early phases of rehabilitation
·
Patient must produce and maintain a
predetermined minimum force output to
initiate movement, loading the muscles
surrounding the joint, producing preload, thus
stabilizing and protecting the joint.
·
Eccentric torque up to 400 ft-lb.
The Technology
Based on accepted science, backed by independent studies, supported by clinical protocols and normative data.
