Therapeutic Exercises

Research has been gradually amassing over the years in favor of eccentric training. Many controlled trials show increased strength, size, and control of muscles after eccentric training.

Preventive exercise programs may be able to reverse the trend. But only if they effectively address the root causes. Here you’ll find a review of the literature on fall risks for older adults and interventions that can help prevent fall-related deaths.

You don't have to be a spine specialist to safely and effectively treat sever neck pain. This evidence-based approach applies many of the same principles you use for other conditions. As always, start with evaluation. Consider the client’s ADLs, job tasks, degenerative changes within the spine, disease, and muscle imbalances.

The rehab team at London Road Community Hospital are helping people regain strength and function through Long-COVID so they can get back to work. PrimusRS plays an important role in facilitating functional exercise and providing critical data for patient progress.

Traditional methods can only provide so much relief for severe neck pain and injuries. Explore an evidence-based approach focusing on a detailed assessment on range of motion and strength, and strengthening the neck itself.

The data showed that each intervention provided some level of improvement.  But exercise was the most consistently effective option. More specifically, eccentric exercise was the single most effective treatment for all joints in the study

Eccentric work provides unique responses and benefits compared to concentric exercise. This session delves into the science of eccentric exercise and how the Eccentron allows you to offer controlled but targeted isolated eccentric exercise to nearly any client.

“The eccentric component is huge for NBA players because they’re so explosive. Many injuries occur in the eccentric phase during deceleration, so the Eccentron is for both performance and injury reduction,” says Motoki Fuji, Houston Rockets' Assistant Athletic Trainer

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.

The sit to stand is one of the most important movements of everyday life. Patients recovering from COVID-19 will be dealing with physical limitations that make this important function harder. In this video, we'll show you how to use your PrimusRS to help your patients achieve a safer sit to stand. You can use this exercise with patients who are severely deconditioned.

As COVID-19 patients make their recovery, some will have been severely deconditioned. Learn how to strengthen the ankles, knees, and hips with gentle eccentric resistance to get your patients up and moving again.
