Lower Extremity

Faster than you could search it online, this hand-held tool shows you the activated muscle groups, spinal segment, and innervation for 26 different joint-specific movements, both upper and lower extremity.

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.

Marla Tappy's unique approach for creating a cash-pay clinic removes the frustration of insurance billing. She keeps her clients happy with the clinically superior results and engaging experience of the Eccentron.

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.

Many wonderful things happen during the summer time.  Vacations, family walks, outside time with the dog(s) all can be ways that we enjoy our summer days and nights.  But this is also a time that people can experience a spike in lower extremity and even lower spine injuries.  One of the potential causes?  You guessed…

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.

"Physicians get happy patients with Eccentron, and so do we.” Eccentron brought a surge of referrals, patient engagement, and business growth for Vereen Rehabilitation Center. They even increased their staff from 18 to 37 full-time clinicians.
