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 to keep costs low, get results and keep the referral source happy, but we also have to keep the patient happy,” says Rich. “Using Primus for effort measurement allows us to do both.
