Clinique de Genolier introduces a new isokinetic device for effective rehabilitation
This isokinetic device for effective rehabilitation helps assess the strength of the muscles and joints of the upper and lower limbs. It also measures how they develop at different stages of rehabilitation. The main advantage of the device is that it helps the doctor decide when the patient can resume physical and sporting activity.
This device is the only dynamometer able to measure torque, maximum strength and the muscle imbalances that often accompany sports-related conditions.
The isokinetic device in action
- Provides important information after joint replacement and during diagnostics.
- The method is a complementary practice during diagnostics and in professional physiotherapy.
- Provides more reliable data for detecting hidden muscle deficits and identifies muscle imbalances during preliminary diagnostics.
What is isokinetics?
This device, a multi-joint rotational isokinetic dynamometer, is designed for the assessment, rehabilitation and recovery of muscles, peripheral joints and the spine.
The dynamometer assesses dynamic muscle strength. The principle of self-adapting resistance allows us to offer optimised rehabilitation protocols under safe conditions.
The isokinetic cycle ergometer is used for all types of injuries or conditions of the athlete’s upper body in cases of neuralgia.
An objective, precise assessment of patients’ muscle strength helps identify potential deficits or imbalances and neurological or muscular problems, and shows exactly how rehabilitation machines can correct or improve the situation in the most suitable way.
