A bad swing doesn’t just mean a bad shot. A poorly trained swing can lead to injury.  When you consider the number of swings that a golfer will take on the practice range or the course, overuse injuries can occur in a short period of time.

“BTE’s Primus increases revenue and pays for itself in short order." The PrimusRS allows the clinic to capitalize on higher-yielding CPT codes, and bill for more units. Aside from its earning potential, therapists and patients feel more engaged with the new equipment.

Isokinetic systems use isolated movements to target individual muscles. Despite their initial popularity, they've seen a marked decline in the era of modern functional rehabilitation. Explore how and why isokinetic systems became so widely popular.

An effective rehabilitation program must challenge the muscles in the same way they will be used outside of the clinic.

“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.

See how NovaCare keeps clients engaged, precisely simulates job tasks for industrial rehab, and shows real proof of progress with objective reporting. “I believe patients are coming back to the center more often when they work with Primus,” Rich states.
