Hip isokinetic dynamometer A8

anklekneeshoulder

The A8-2 is an isokinetic multi-joint assessment and training system for objective measurement, rehabilitation and strength training of major human joints.

Overview

• Designed for shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle assessment and training.
• Supports isokinetic, isotonic, isometric, centrifugal, centripetal and continuous passive motion modes.
• Provides test recording, report generation, printing and secure data storage for clinical follow-up and research.

How it works

• The limb is fixed to a lever; a mechanical speed limiter adjusts resistance to maintain constant movement speed so torque and other parameters can be recorded objectively.
• Integrated components include control computer, mechanical speed limiter, printer, adjustable seat and limb fixtures for reproducible positioning.
• Measures parameters such as torque (including peak torque), peak torque-to-weight ratio, work, optimal force angle and muscle work volume.

Applications

• Intended for use in neurology, neurosurgery, orthopedics, sports medicine and rehabilitation departments.
• Indications: disuse atrophy, muscle lesions, neuropathic dysfunction, joint injury or disease, general muscle weakness and athlete strength training.

Contraindications

• Severe local joint pain or major limitation of joint mobility
• Synovitis or joint exudation
• Instability of the joint or adjacent joints
• Fracture, severe osteoporosis or bone/joint malignancy
• Early postoperative stage, soft-tissue scar contracture, acute swelling, acute strain or sprain

Features

• Precise rehabilitation assessment with multiple resistance modes and 22 movement modes for multi-joint evaluation.
• Comprehensive parameter set for objective tracking (peak torque, work, angle, explosiveness, endurance, mobility, stability).
• Software tools for recording, analysis, comparison of results, program setting and progress tracking.
• Real-time display of test/training data and printable graphs/reports for clinicians and researchers.
• Multiple modes suitable across rehabilitation stages and for targeted muscle-group training.
