Eccentron

Discover how eccentric training enhances mobility and independence in spinal cord injury rehabilitation. Learn about the latest research, key exercises, and the role of the Eccentron in boosting muscle activation, force production, and functional abilities for your SCI patients.

A recent study examined the outcomes of an eccentric-focused physical therapy program for post-hip fracture recovery. Participants using BTE's Eccentron showed positive improvements in lean muscle mass, force production, and functional abilities.

Here's why you should integrate neuromuscular reeducation in sports physical therapy programs. NMR helps your athletes recover from and prevent injuries while also training neuromuscular control. Keep reading for the whys and hows of neuromuscular reeducation in sports.

Eccentric contractions have so many unique properties that make it ideal for rehabilitation and training. And we’re not just talking musculoskeletal benefits (although this side alone is compelling enough). Eccentrics also engage the neurological system to promote healing, learning, and neuromuscular control, too.

Aerobic exercise offers the potential to not just mend but revitalize. It’s time to elevate this unsung hero of recovery so that it becomes a cornerstone, rather than an afterthought, in neurological rehab.

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

Learn how to provide early intervention with Eccentron to get patients moving, even those who have difficulty tolerating exercise.

To facilitate the safe operation of BTE systems, we recommend the following sanitization guidelines to all providers. Before cleaning, it is best to power down the system.

The Eccentron produced muscle activation almost four times higher than the other exercises for all muscle groups tested. With the Eccentron, participants achieved an average muscle activation of 60% of their maximum.
