Position your facility as the leader in gait, mobility, balance, and fall risk screening and conditioning.
Tackling the needs of the older adult requires an understanding of the complex physiology of this population segment. Biodex balance and mobility products and programs address age-related diseases by aiding in increasing mobility, addressing fall risk, improving
balance, developing muscle tone and increasing agility.
Biodex technology will set your facility apart, making it attractive to ACOs, hospitals, physicians, the community, residents and their families. Our technology expands rehabilitation capabilities to include complex, post-acute care, providing quality outcomes in the shortest period of time.
Reduce Fall Litigation
Biodex devices can directly impact the incidence of falls. It all begins with balance. As the cornerstone for a fall program, the Balance System SD is used to identify and strengthen potential fallers, which not only limits liability, but improves mobility and thereby social behavior among residents.
Become a Preferred Referral Therapy Partner
Biodex gives your facility The Referral Advantage™. Our physical medicine devices encourage safe, progressive and effective rehabilitation – crucial to partnering with an ACO. In the face of today’s move to patient-driven care, Biodex equips your facility to treat complex patients, rehab them in a shorter period of time, maximize staff and provide safe discharge to outpatient or home care.
Accelerate rehab, improve outcomes and reduce risk of readmission
With focus on improving or restoring functional independence, Biodex rehabilitation devices work in concert to achieve optimal patient outcomes at an accelerated rate – discharged to outpatient or home care in the shortest timeframe.
Rehabilitating patients in the most efficient manner is crucial in today’s Episode of Care environment. Biodex technology provides safe and effective rehabilitation.
Balance System SD
The Biodex Balance System SD is a multifunction diagnostic and therapeutic instrument used in thousands of clinics around the globe. Many therapists have determined that the balance issues characteristic of Parkinson’s disease can be more easily and accurately identified and documented through the use of the multiple training and testing modes available on the Biodex Balance System SD. Balance exercise and training can improve postural stability and reduce fall risk.
Mobility Assist
The Biodex Mobility Assist™ is a motorized stand-assist device that brings patients from a seated to standing position with the protection of a safety harness. As the patient stands using correct biomechanics, their center of gravity remains within the support of the device.
Sit2Stand Squat-Assist Trainer
The Biodex Sit2Stand™ Squat-Assist Trainer guides patients through the seated to standing motion in a safe environment. Through repetition a patient builds both lower- and upper-body muscule strength and endurance, improves flexibility and ideally achieves functional gains. Patients with low force production and hypokinesia can learn to improve force in a functional task and improve dopamine release and enhanced expectancies.
BioStep 2
The BioStep 2 can be used as an alternative exercise option to treadmill walking. The upper- and lower-extremity zero-impact exercise loosens characteristically tight muscles, which may help a person with Parkinson’s disease ambulate easier and freer, without tiring.
medBike
Proven to be very effective for MS and Parkinson’s disease, the motion training of medBike helps loosen and strengthen muscles, and reduce spasticity. Research has shown that some people with Parkinson’s disease can benefit by exercising in the Pedal Assisted Mode at the higher rpm levels that the medBike can offer, up to 90 rpm. The Continuous Control System avoids overstraining the lower- and upper-leg muscles, creating safe exercise conditions.
Gait Trainer 3
The Gait Trainer 3 differs from an ordinary treadmill with its specialized rehabilitation design for patients with neurological involvement such as those with Parkinson’s. The instrumented deck monitors and records step length, step speed and step symmetry – all gait factors that must be corrected in Parkinson’s disease if patients are to reduce their risk of fall. Patients are motivated by real-time audio and visual biofeedback, keeping them on target in each phase of rehabilitation. Summary reports are available to track progress and document outcomes.
FreeStep SAS
The Biodex FreeStep SAS is an overhead track and harness system that provides a safe ambulation environment for both therapist and patient. The FreeStep facilitates enhanced medical rehabilitation (EMR) and promotes Reactive Balance Training, allowing patients to purposely fall to prepare for risks during ADLs and learn to fall the correct way to avoid injury.
Upper Body Cycle
The Biodex Upper Body Cycle is a versatile ergometer that can be used in orthopedic rehabilitation, cardiac, sports medicine, wellness, or home settings. It will exercise individuals with limited lower-body function, help enhance mobility and muscle tone in the shoulder, back, neck, wrist, and elbow, and give healthy athletes a grueling workout.
