Accelerate Knee Recovery with BTE
The PrimusRS enables clinicians to safely guide patients through post-op knee replacement rehab with controlled resistance, helping them regain strength and functional mobility.
Address Common Knee Replacement Rehab Challenges
Prolonged Recovery Timelines: Eccentron achieves four-times-higher muscle activation than standard rehab exercises, leading to greater muscle growth and functional gains to help patients reach their goals sooner.
Insurance Denials: PrimusRS and Eccentron help clinicians quantify progress with objective reports—the tools you need to prove medical necessity for insurer approvals and reimbursement.
Loss of Strength and Endurance: Eccentron allows clinicians to deliver controlled, high-intensity eccentric resistance to help rebuild quadriceps strength with minimal fatigue, ideal for patients with low cardiopulmonary tolerance.
Low Patient Engagement: Eccentron’s real-time feedback and gamified interface keep patients working—and returning through the entire rehab process. PrimusRS boosts engagement with technology-enabled exercises and clear progress reports that show improvement session by session.
Limited Progress Tracking: All BTE systems record granular, objective data, helping clinicians streamline documentation, justify continued care, and provide clear reports to physicians, insurers, and families.
Concerns About Safety and Tolerance: PrimusRS and Eccentron feature clinician-controlled loading, enabling therapists to adjust intensity and guide patient safety from early-stage rehab to advanced strengthening.
Knee Replacement Rehab Equipment Features
Objective Progress Tracking
Capture reliable data on strength, endurance, and ROM to document milestones, support payer justification, and reduce documentation time. Clinicians can export or print standardized reports for clear communication with surgeons, case managers, and families.
Progressive, Clinician-Controlled Dosing
Clinicians can customize resistance intensities and modes to safely guide patients from early joint protection through advanced functional training. Eccentron’s closed-chain eccentric training helps rebuild quadriceps power while minimizing cardiopulmonary demand. PrimusRS facilitates isokinetic, isotonic, and isometric exercise with variable resistance modes including concentric only, eccentric only, concentric-eccentric, and unsynchronized forces for maximum versatility.
Interactive Engagement for Improved Adherence
Eccentron’s game-like targets and real-time feedback help clinicians turn rehab into a motivating experience, which may boost patient effort and reduce missed appointments. BTE’s functional rehabilitation systems—PrimusRS, Eccentron, MCU, Capri, Alfa —also allows clinicians to address related cervical spine, upper extremity, balance and neurological deficits for a more holistic recovery.
BTE Benefits
Quantified Assessment & Documentation
PrimusRS helps clinicians capture reliable torque, endurance, and ROM data to support clinical decisions and strengthen payer justification.
Clinician-Controlled Progressive Loading
PrimusRS and Eccentron enable clinicians to adjust resistance, assisting in safe advancement from early protection through functional strengthening.
Engaging Real-Time Feedback
Eccentron provides clinicians with interactive displays that motivate patients, which may improve adherence and reduce cancellations.
Holistic Post-Op Care Pathway
The combined MCU, PrimusRS, and Eccentron systems equip clinicians to address cervical, core, and lower-extremity deficits.
Objective Data Capture & Reporting
All BTE systems record repeatable metrics that clinicians can export, reducing documentation time and enhancing transparency.
Functional & Eccentric Task Simulation
PrimusRS replicates daily movements while Eccentron delivers closed-chain eccentric work, allowing clinicians to strengthen patients with controlled oxygen demands.

FAQs
-
What equipment is essential for post-knee replacement rehab?
Effective post-op knee rehab protocols often use equipment that provides controlled strengthening and objective measurement. This includes systems for isotonic, isokinetic, and eccentric resistance, as well as functional task simulation. -
How does technology enhance knee replacement rehab?
Advanced technology with digital tracking and real-time feedback can enhance patient engagement, provide objective data on progress, and allow clinicians to personalize rehabilitation programs based on reliable metrics. -
What should a facility consider when selecting knee rehab equipment?
Key factors include the system’s ability to meet diverse patient needs, its versatility for various rehab stages, durability, ease of use for clinicians, and its capacity to provide objective data for documentation and justification. -
What is the role of eccentric exercise in knee replacement recovery?
Eccentric exercise is valuable for helping rebuild muscle strength and improve joint stability. It allows for high-intensity strengthening with lower oxygen demand, making it suitable for deconditioned or older patients. -
How can rehab equipment help with patient motivation?
Equipment with gamified interfaces, visual progress tracking, and real-time feedback helps keep patients engaged and motivated. The "cool factor" of advanced technology can also build excitement and improve adherence.
