Therapy that Will Restore Range of Motion in Beaverton OR
The Biodex Isokinetic Dynamometer has been in use at high-level athletic facilities and universities since the 1980s. Its software has become easier to use, and its effectiveness has become more evident in the literature. As a safe and effective way to screen athletes after sports rehab before returning to their sport, it has become a solidified bedrock for athletic testing.
The dynamometer is designed to measure muscle strength by applying constant resistance against muscles in quick repetitive motions at various power levels. The dynamometer also has a corresponding set of resources based on biomechanics, movement patterns, and applied exercise science.
