Isokinetic machine for upper extremity exercise

The new machine for concentric-concentric activation of upper limb and trunk muscles has finally arrived at Scipion from the USA. Hydraulic resistance uniform in all directions, combined with specific exercise protocols developed at our institution, enable us to:

-Achieve very early postoperative activation of the shoulder girdle muscles.

-Activate back muscles in a protective position postoperatively and in cases of complex spinal disorders.

-Activate multiple muscle fibers simultaneously compared to isotonic exercises.

-Reduce or completely eliminate the risk of injury due to the exclusion of the eccentric component of movement.

-Minimize muscle inflammation.

-Shorten training time.

-Shorten rehabilitation time after injuries or surgical procedures.

Q&A

 

What is concentric-concentric muscle activation?
It is a type of exercise that involves muscle contraction while shortening, which is important for strengthening and rehabilitating muscles.

How does this machine assist in postoperative rehabilitation?
It enables very early activation of the shoulder girdle muscles, promoting faster recovery after surgery.

What are the benefits of hydraulic resistance?
Hydraulic resistance ensures equal resistance in all directions, allowing for safer exercise and reducing the risk of injury.

Can the machine activate back muscles?
Yes, the machine allows for activation of the back muscles in a protective position, which is especially important after surgical procedures or in cases of complex spinal disorders.

How does this machine differ from isotonic exercises?
This machine activates more muscle fibers simultaneously, improving training efficiency compared to traditional isotonic exercises.

Does using this machine reduce the risk of injury?
Yes, by excluding the eccentric component of movement, the risk of injury is reduced or completely eliminated.

How does the machine affect muscle inflammation?
Using this machine can minimize muscle inflammation, allowing for faster recovery.

How much time can be saved during training?
This machine shortens training time, enabling quicker and more effective workouts.

How does the machine impact rehabilitation time?
Using this machine can shorten rehabilitation time after injuries or surgical procedures, facilitating a faster return to activities.

Who can use this machine?
The machine is suitable for all users, including athletes, individuals in rehabilitation, and anyone looking to improve strength in the upper extremities and trunk.
