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.

“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.
