  1. Manny Moore ATC ISOKINETIC MACHINE

  2. What is it? • A weight-training/rehabilitation device that produces a movement, at a constant velocity. • Keeps the speed of movement of the muscles being exercised constant, irrespective of the force being applied. • Enables a well-motivated individual to contract the muscles at maximum force at all points in the range of motion.

  3. Function? • Isokineticmachines help to develop uniform strengthening of active muscles, improving muscle strength, endurance, cardiovascular fitness through concentric/ecccentric contractions. • Mimics functional speeds during activity & helps reduce functional impairment.

  4. Function? • Measures ROM and progress objectively which aims to restores optimal function after injury or surgery. • Uses Biodex software (Humac Norm) • Windows Based OS

  5. Objective Data

  6. Objective Data

  7. Effectiveness? • Research evidence shows increase in strength • Bone mineral Density • Range of Motion • Functional performance & helps prevents re-injury • Safe because resistance is equal to force applied

  8. Purchasing • Csmi medical solutions.com • Cost 30,000+ • Includes Attachments for the ankle, knee, hip, wrist, elbow, shoulder • Isokinetic machines are bulky therefore adequate spacing is recommended. • Should be used by a trained medical professional
