Con-Trex - Model WS - Biomechanical Therapy Systems
The isokinetic CON-TREX® WS was developed to imitate motions of working environments, sports and everyday domestic life. In order to be able to follow the unique and often extremely complex patterns of movement, the height of the dynamometer can be electronically adjusted from down close to the ground to up over the patient‘s head. For realistic simulation of unusual movements the CON-TREX® WS can be rotated and swivelled. The possibility of reproducible assessment of work capacity is thus provided. Various movements from the everyday life of a craftsman (such as screwing, lifting objects, butting levers or sawing) can be simulated and trained. In addition to preparing for difficult working conditions (such as working overhead), CON-TREX® WS can be used to compose a specific and highly effective muscular workout. In practice, a minimum working area of only 2 x 2 meters is sufficient.
- high-precision isokinetic mode
- ballistic mode
- active compensation of gravity
- unique combined load types
- precise and very close adjustment of the rotary axis of the dynamometer in relation to the joint axis
- sampling rate of 4000 Hz for highest precision
- play-free drive train
- EMG synchronisation
- three-level safety concept
- individually customisable reports
The human kinetics software allows easy separation of databases, thereby enabling different internal departments or scientific areas within the same facility to work independently. The presentation of the numerous report designs can be customised. Export to other data processing programs is done easily via the ASCII interface. Anonymisation of the data for scientific work is easily possible.
The detailed online help provides direct notes on the current menu item or the operation being performed, with images and graphics. Above all, the detailed information on the numerous movement performances clarifies both the positioning of the subject / patient and the use of the required adapters.
Therapy information
CON-TREX® can be used in early diagnostic and preventative therapy for injuries to the musculoskeletal system in out-patient rehabilitation and in the clinic. It is also used in scientific research and performance optimisation and facilitates the careful and specific analysis of problems and thus the highly efficient training of top athletes.
CON-TREX® machines are suited to measurement and analysis thanks to the high levels of precision and are thus especially well-suited to scientific use. In training and therapy, they aim to improve muscle capabilities (in both the strength and stamina areas) as well as sensorimotor skills. Thanks to its versatile measuring capabilities and the intuitive exercise software, CON-TREX® is excellently suited to the following applications:
CON-TREX® enables the early diagnosis and prevention of damages or injuries to the musculoskeletal system in out-patient rehabilitation and in clinical use.
Diagnosis and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal deficiencies
Muscular disbalances can disrupt the ideal sequence of movements and may have damaging effects on the joints or, depending on the type of sport, can even be desirable or required. CON-TREX® helps to record, detect and analyse these disbalances. In addition, CON-TREX® machines can be used to efficiently eliminate muscular disbalances. One particular benefit is in the fact that the tested movement can be trained at the same time.
Joint replacement
CON-TREX® machines can be used in the area of geriatric rehabilitation after artificial joint replacement in particular. Even at very low available muscular strength patients can actively train and improve their muscularity at a sensible speed of motion. This means that the loss of strength is kept to a minimum and the mobility of the joints either remains the same or is improved.
