0The BIODEX isokinetic assessment and training system enables isokinetic and isometric assessment of the musculoskeletal system based on active or passive movement in the trunk and joints including the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle. It is equipped with dynamometers that allow to measure the moments of muscle strength in the joints in dynamic conditions during concentric and eccentric work with the possibility of changing the speed of the movement. The chair allows to measure the moments of muscle strength during isometric exercises as well as isokinetic exercises that are carried out at a constant speed. It also allows to measure proprioception. It is used during rehabilitation as well as conducting and monitoring sports training. The system is equipped with a mobile workstation with a control panel.
The BIODEX 4Pro system, among others, allows to determine the moments of muscle strength in the upper and lower limbs in the scope of:
strength ability assessment
assessment of strength-speed abilities
symmetry evaluation
assessment of antagonistic muscle groups
Examples of research possibilities:
- isokinetic and isometric evaluation of the motor system based on active or passive movement of the torso or in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee or ankle joints,
- measurement muscle strength moments during isometric exercises as well as isokinetic exercises that are conducted at a constant speed ,
- measurement of proprioception.
We carry out our tests according to the client individual instructions. We’re open to determine the course of research for non-standard requirements.
