MedX™
This computer-assisted tool evaluates and strengthens lumbar extensor muscles.
The MedX is designed to stabilize the pelvis and standardize positioning of the
upper body, thus allowing for more precise measurement and training of the smaller
and weaker lumbar extensor muscles.
Motion Analysis LiftTrak™
The LiftTrack evaluates the patient’s ability to lift, and compares this capacity with the National Institute of Safety and Health guidelines. The analysis identifies energy expenditure levels, excessive strength demands and maximum lift capacity, allowing physicians to treat patients accordingly while addressing concerns about the capacity for work.
Biodex
This computer-assisted tool evaluates low back strength and mobility during rotation
and flexion/extension. It measures range of motion, speed of movement, consistency
of effort, and effort against resistance.
