Address Key Hip Rehabilitation Challenges
BTE equipment helps clinicians tackle common hip rehabilitation challenges by delivering objective data, enabling targeted exercises, and keeping patients engaged for better outcomes.
Subjective strength assessments make it difficult to create effective plans of care. The PrimusRS provides objective, repeatable hip strength measurements to inform clinical decisions.
Fear of over- or under-dosing patients can slow down recovery. The Eccentron enables clinicians to apply data-driven loading early in the rehabilitation process, with lower cardiopulmonary demand.
Patients often lose motivation with repetitive, unengaging exercises. BTE’s interactive interfaces provide real-time feedback and gamified sessions to improve patient adherence.
It’s difficult to quantify balance deficits and improvements, which are critical for reducing fall risk. The Alfa system provides objective data on sway and stability to track and document gait improvements.
BTE’s Hip Rehab Equipment Features
BTE PrimusRS: Objective Hip Strength Measurement
The PrimusRS allows clinicians to capture precise data on hip flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction. This data can be used to generate reliable, exportable reports for your EMR, helping you justify care plans and demonstrate outcomes.
BTE Eccentron: Controlled Eccentric Loading
With the Eccentron, clinicians administer eccentric-only resistance, which has been shown to produce strength gains with lower joint stress and cardiopulmonary demand. This makes it an ideal solution for early-stage hip strengthening after surgery or fracture, helping patients reach functional milestones faster without excessive strain.

Benefits of BTE’s Equipment
Reliable Strength Metrics
The PrimusRS helps clinicians generate objective, repeatable data on hip strength, which can be used to defend medical necessity and support reimbursement.
Controlled Early Loading
The Eccentron allows clinicians to introduce progressive eccentric loading earlier in the rehabilitation process, which can help reduce the length of recovery for some patients.
Enhanced Patient Engagement
BTE’s interactive interfaces provide real-time feedback and gamified sessions that keep patients motivated, helping to reduce cancellations and achieve discharge goals.
Quantified Balance and Gait Data
The Alfa helps clinicians capture objective data on sway and stability, allowing them to document gait improvements and demonstrate a reduced risk of falls.

-
Which BTE system is best for hip rehab?
For objective strength assessment and functional exercise, the PrimusRS is the ideal choice. The Eccentron is designed for efficient, closed-chain eccentric loading, while the Alfa is used to restore balance and gait stability. -
Can these systems be used for both orthopedic and sports patients?
Yes. The PrimusRS is versatile enough for both orthopedic rehab and task simulation. The Eccentron is suitable for both deconditioned and athletic populations, and the Alfa can be used for both orthopedic and neurologic balance training. -
How do I progress patients after hip surgery or fracture?
A typical progression would be to start by quantifying hip and lower-extremity strength with the PrimusRS, then integrate closed-chain eccentric loading with the Eccentron, and finally, add balance and proprioceptive training with the Alfa to address fall risk and gait mechanics. -
Do these systems provide objective data for documentation?
Yes, the PrimusRS, Alfa, and Eccentron generate objective measurements and reports. -
Is eccentric training appropriate for older adults after hip events?
Published studies have shown that training with Eccentron can lead to improvements in strength and function in older adults after hip fracture, with a manageable cardiopulmonary load. However, it is up to the clinician to determine the suitability and dosage for each patient.
