Eccentrics

CPM is great for working on the Range of Motion in injured joints. But with the added Target Force, you’re also improving neuromuscular control, strength through range, stability, and overall endurance.

Learn how to provide early intervention with Eccentron to get patients moving, even those who have difficulty tolerating exercise.

The Eccentron produced muscle activation almost four times higher than the other exercises for all muscle groups tested. With the Eccentron, participants achieved an average muscle activation of 60% of their maximum.

Three key advances have dramatically shortened ACL recovery time for UGA football players: post-injury treatment, surgical procedure, and innovative rehabilitation. Because an ACL injury used to jeopardize an athlete’s career, it’s important to build confidence to make a complete recovery.

According to a recent article in New York Times, “few practicing physicians alert their older patients to this condition." Learn how you can intervene to protect your elderly clients from age-related muscle loss.

Let’s take a look at some of these populations, and the outcomes leading researchers have reported from eccentric training. Studies include hip fracture, ACL rehabilitation, TKA, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's and falls.

A close look at two ways of treating ACL injuries in the clinic. One lets the patient start post-op rehab as soon as two weeks after the injury. Research shows that eccentric exercise helps build strength in a short amount of time, helping prevent muscular atrophy. Get your patients back to what they love, sooner.

Eccentric-only exercise can generate higher forces at higher intensities with lower energetic cost. This makes it ideal for elderly patients or those with low exercise tolerance. The low energetic cost means they can exercise with greater load on the muscles without straining the joints.

“We have used BTE Eccentron with a variety of different athletes, and we have had outstanding results," says Courson. Learn more about how Ron has been using Eccentron in his training room to rehab athletes and strengthen them post-op, to prevent issues such as quad atrophy.

Recently, Ron Courson, ATC, PT, NREMT-I, CSCS, Director of Sports Medicine for University of Georgia, a long-time BTE user and advocate - came to us with an incredible success story. Showing just what an impact BTE can make. In this case, the story was Todd Gurley. And Todd was so excited about his recovery with BTE, that he wanted to share his story.

“I don’t think I would have been able to recover as well and become as healthy as I did without Eccentron” - Todd Gurley, NFL Running Back. Ron Courson, Director of Sports Medicine for University of Georgia, reflects on his success rehabbing Todd Gurley, helping him overcome adversity on his path to the NFL.

“Eccentric exercise has the unique capability to generate the highest muscle force, and patients can grow stronger at the highest possible rate compared to other exercise,” says Michael Bade, PT, DPT, PhD.
