Biodex, is a leading manufacturer of premium exercise equipment. It is a training machine that’s it’s main work is the isokinetic type of exercise . An isokinetic muscle contraction is one in which the muscle contracts and shortens at a constant and consistent rate of speed. In isokinetic muscle contractions, the muscle itself contracts to its maximum level throughout the entire exercise. The main characteristic of isokinetic muscle contractions is that they have a constant speed. The benefit of isokinetic resistance training is that the targeted muscles gain strength evenly and consistently all through the entire range of movement and exercise.
During exercise, analyzes the muscular ability of the trainee and continuously changes the resistance and the best possible result achieved. Furthermore, isokinetic is the faster and safer way for a muscle tο strengthen based on normal function of the muscle. In addition, Biodex gives us the opportunity to perform symmetrical tests comparing the right side with the left.
It can also use for post-operative rehabilitation for rotator cuff, ACL, ankle fractures etc.
