Multi-joint Isokinetic Strength Testing and Training Equipment A8-2
Isokinetic strength testing and training equipment A8 is an assessment and training machine for six major joints of human. Shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle can get isokinetic, isotonic, isometric, centrifugal, centripetal and continuous passive testing and training.
The training equipment can do assessment, and reports are generated before, during and after testing and training. What’s more, it supports printing and storage functions. The report can be used to assess human functional ability and as a scientific research tool for researchers. Various modes can fit all periods of rehabilitation and the rehabilitation of joints and muscles can achieve the highest level.
Definition of Isokinetic
In Isokinetic exercise, kinematic velocity is constant and resistance is variable. Velocity of the training is preset in the isokinetic equipment. Once the velocity is set, no matter how much strength the subject uses, velocity of his body movement will not exceed the preset one. The subjective strength will only increase muscle tension and output torque, but accelerated velocity will not be produced.
Features of Isokinetic
An accurate strength test – Isokinetic strength test
A8 fully reflects the strength generation situation at each joint angular position. It can also compare and evaluate left/right difference of the body and antagonistic muscle/agonistic muscle ratio.
Efficient and Safe Strength Training — Isokinetic strength training
It can apply the most appropriate resistant for patients at every joint angle. The resistance applied will not exceed patients’ limit. Moreover, it can reduce the resistance applied when patients’ strength decreases.
What’s the Isokinetic Training Equipment For?
It is applicable to muscle atrophy caused by exercise reduction or other causes. What’s more, it can do with muscle atrophy caused by muscle lesions, muscle dysfunction caused by neuropathy, muscle weakness caused by joint disease or injury, muscle dysfunction, healthy person or athlete muscle strength training.
Contraindications
Severe local joint pain, severe joint mobility limitation, synovitis or exudation, joint and adjacent joint instability, fracture, severe osteoporosis, bone and joint malignancy, early postoperative, soft tissue scar contracture, acute swelling acute strain or sprain.
Clinical Application
The isokinetic training equipment is suitable for neurology, neurosurgery, orthopedics, sports medicine, rehabilitation and some other departments.
Features of the Isokinetic Training Equipment
1. Precise rehabilitation evaluation system with multiple resistance modes. It can assess and train shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle joints with 22 movement modes;
2. Four motion modes available: ：Isokinetic, isotonic, isometric and continuous passive
3. It can assess a variety of parameters, such as peak torque, peak torque weight ratio, work, etc.;
4. Record, analyze and compare test results, set specific rehabilitation training programs and goals and record improvement;
5. Dual protection of motion range, ensure patients test or train in the safe range of motion.
Clinical Pathway of Orthopedic Rehabilitation
Continuous Passive Training: Maintain and restore range of motion, alleviate joint contracture and adhesions.
Isometric Strength Training: relieve disuse syndrome, initially enhance muscle strength.
Isokinetic Strength Training: Quickly increase muscle strength and provide muscle fiber recruitment ability.
Isotonic Strength Training: Improve neuromuscular control.
