Biodex Computerized Multi-Joint Rehabilitation System.

• Brantford Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine Centre is equipped with a Biodex Computerized Multi-Joint Rehabilitation System. The Biodex is a machine that has multiple uses in that it can be used to perform five different types of exercises and can also be used for isokinetic and/or isometric strength testing. As such, the Biodex system allows us to offer highly specialized, effective and safe testing and rehabilitation exercises for all of the major joints of the body.

• For rehabilitation, the versatility of the Biodex System allows us to prescribe a wide variety of exercise modes including isokinetic, isometric, isotonic, eccentric and passive modes, to enhance muscle strength and joint range of motion. These different modes place differing demands on the muscles, allowing us to provide safe and effective exercise for all levels of muscle function.

• For muscular testing, the Biodex System can be used to test the strength in any of the major muscles of the body including: the ankle, knee, hip wrist, back / torso and shoulder. Such testing allows the strength of the limbs on different sides of the body to be compared to each other and also to compare the strength of reciprocal muscle groups of the same limb to each other (such as quadriceps and hamstrings in the thigh). Such muscle strength and imbalance tests are vital for producing optimal performance and injury prevention in sports as well as ensuring the patient is capable of completing functional and occupational abilities.
