Biodex Isokinetic Testing and Training
Return-to-sport isokinetic testing
Biodex strength tests are used by our therapists to evaluate weaknesses in key muscles. Data acquired during testing is used to track our athletes’ strength throughout their program at Movement F1rst.
Using our extensive database and the latest research, we are able to compared each athlete’s strength to the normal values of other athletes in their respective sport.
Strength reports generated provide key data in the rehabilitation of multiple injuries and conditions including, but not limited to:
ACL Reconstruction
Patellar Tendinitis
Hamstrings Strains
Labrum and Rotator Cuff Repairs
Low Back Pain
Knee Pain
In addition, a Biodex can reveal imbalances in muscle groups that can increase the risk of injury such as:
A LOW ratio of strength between hamstrings strength and quadriceps strength that can increase the likelihood of HAMSTRINGS STRAIN
A relatively HIGH quadriceps strength number compared to glute strength that may predispose an athlete to experience KNEE PAIN
Eliminate the guessing
Know your muscle’s exact strength
Training on the Biodex
Training on the Biodex allows for precise parameters to be met in order to more efficiently target increases in strength and hypertrophy
Combine with blood-flow restriction training to more accurately deliver results
Use eccentric-only training on the Biodex to reach your strength goals sooner
Appropriately train the hamstrings in the high speeds necessary to return to sprinting
