Muscle Performance Clinic Biodex Isokinetic Dynamometer

Biodex in use

The Biodex is an isokinetic dynamometer which gives information about muscle performance. It can be used to:

  • Test muscle strength
  • Increase strength of muscle groups
  • Test muscle performance
  • Increase joint range

Advantages of Isokinetic training:

  • High speed training
  • Safety
  • Work in painfree range
  • Submaximal exercise
  • Neuromuscular control

Who would benefit?

The programme is suitable for assessing a wide range of people where muscle weakness or imbalance is a concern. In sports people it is ideal to determine if their strength is at a suitable level to contemplate return to highly competitive sport. Post surgery it is useful to determine if patients are meeting post operative performance milestones.
