Fully accommodates a wide variety of positions and exercises. Features a fixed-height positioning chair with 360 degrees of rotation, side-to-side adjustment and maximum patient stabilization.
More than 30 years have passed since Biodex introduced the world’s first multi-mode computerized robotic dynamometer.
That event and subsequent “firsts” have made the Biodex dynamometer the choice in the most distinguished clinics and research facilities around the world.
Sports and orthopedic medicine, pediatric medicine, neurorehabilitation, older adult medicine, industrial medicine, and researchers depend on Biodex to provide consistent, accurate, objective data. Objective data that provides the best outcome for their patients… objective data that supports their research… objective data that separates their facility from the rest.
Biodex Objective Data helps you communicate need, progress and outcome clearly and accurately. Easy to read and interpret color graphic reports are produced with normative data. Graphic reports and narrative letters compare patient’s status to normative data for all joints. Data legends and on-screen editing helps communicate the information in simple terms for patients, doctors, third party payers and employers.
The Biodex System 4 offers a level of performance, accuracy, and safety that remains unmatched. Not surprisingly, Biodex equipment marks the highest correlation coefficients for reliability, accuracy, validity and repeatability – another reason why so many clinicians put their trust in Biodex.
Our employees strive to keep Biodex at the forefront in innovation, effectiveness, efficiency and reliability. That’s why so many world class facilities depend on Biodex.
System 4 is dependable and versatile – providing the means to take on new challenges and be adaptable to keep pace with progressive thinking and innovation.
Sports and Orthopedic Medicine
Whether your orthopedic and sports medicine practice is allowed only limited visits or you have the luxury of managing a complete recovery, Biodex is the tool that adapts to every environment. Evidence-based clinical protocols combine science with practical application to ensure that you provide the best outcomes.
Other capabilities include preseason screening, injury prevention and athletic performance enhancement.
Pediatric Medicine
Used to treat children worldwide, Isokinetic muscle testing helps clinicians by providing objective data for neuromuscular control and strength. Pediatric attachments and age-based normative data are available. View normative data for quadriceps and hamstrings in children ages 6-13 years.
Neurorehabilitation
For the management of persons with movement disorders, neurologic pathologies, or general deconditioning; an Integrated Protocol Using Instrument. The system helps patients build strength, endurance and coordination. Spasticity management includes objective quantification at specific contraction. Use Passive mode for repetitive exercises. Eccentric mode is useful for controlled strengthening.
Military Strength Training
Used by military special forces for injury prevention and performance optimization. Strength testing identifies residual deficits and predisposition for repeat injury.
Occupational Medicine/Workplace Health
For many industries today, poor muscular strength constitutes a risk factor for on-the-job injuries, and can predict susceptibility to many diseases. Today’s workforce is older and more obese – characteristics expected to present increasing injury and illness challenges. Many workers display a loss of up to 30% of their muscle mass as early as age 55 – and may be unable to meet the physical demands of some jobs in as little as five years.
As a result, industry executives require objective tools to determine whether prospective employees possess the muscular strength necessary to safely meet the demands of the positions for which they’ve applied. The Biodex System 4 Dynamometer provides objective, reproducible measures that can be correlated with the physical demands of different jobs, as determined by the Department of Labor. Such pre-employment testing enables companies to assess whether job applicants will become true assets to their workforce – or present risks of injuries, absenteeism and susceptibility to disease.
Older Adult
Biodex Fall Risk Screening & Condtioning Program has been employed by leading clinics for over ten years. It is the only fall program that incorporates a complete array of objective tests. Isokinetic testing will identify weakness; exercise will improve ankle and leg strength.
Research
The Biodex Multi-Joint System has been used in over 1,000 published studies. Unique capabilities include:
Based on accepted science, backed by independent studies, supported by clinical protocols and normative data
Featuring six modes of operation, the Biodex System 4 continues to offer pioneering breakthroughs in neuromuscular testing and rehabilitative technology. Biodex assessments of physical impairments provides patients a fast, effective, documented return to function. The Biodex System 4 is unusually sensitive to your patient’s limits. Progressive and interactive features keep you in complete control. Dynamic and static muscle loading environments provide unlimited combinations of technique and application.
Isokinetic Resistance Mode
Reactive Eccentric Mode
Passive Motion Mode
Isometric Mode
Isotonic Mode
Enjoy complete freedom in planning the mode and level of clinician interaction that works best for each patient. Touch panel controls give clinicians the hands-on ability to adjust torque, speed, range of motion and other clinical parameters in real time.
The Biodex System 4 also allows clinicians the option to select automated test and exercise sessions. Any sequence of modes can be employed automatically.
