TECHNOLOGY AND ASSESSMENT IN HEALTH AND EXERCISE SCIENCE

By: Devon Vicari

Location: Clinical Based Health and Wellness Center

Position: Director of Coaching and Personal Training/Rehabilitation

Focus: Rehabilitating patients coming from hospitalization or from direct physician's care

TECHNOLOGY IN MY WORK PLACE

WHAT WE SEE ON AN AVERAGE DAY

Cardiac patients released by doctor to start and continue a fitness regime

Stroke patients looking to gain back basic skills, also released by doctor

Patients released by Physical Therapists to continue their rehab and start to obtain an exercise schedule

Athletes who are looking for sport specific training with minimal risk to injury

Special populations acquiring everyday skills

OUR TECHNOLOGY AND ITS VIRTUE

Our company works intently with special populations everyday and due to our specific type of members we must have different types of equipment and technology to serve their needs

We are not a commercial gym; we don’t provide to one general population so our technology and equipment is specific to those we work with and they are pieces you won’t find in an average recreation center

Our technology and equipment was picked to serve our members with the best and most accurate results to better their specific health and wellness goals

THE MPO-5500 PROFESSIONAL PHYSICAL THERAPY MUSCLE STIMULATOR

THE MPO-5500 PROFESSIONAL PHYSICAL THERAPY MUSCLE STIMULATOR

Primarily used for managing chronic pain. Works by blocking the pain signal, and by increasing endorphins in the body.

Electrical stimulation uses an electrical current to cause a single muscle or a group of muscles to contract. By placing electrodes on the skin in various locations it can recruit the appropriate muscle fibers. Contracting the muscle via electrical stimulation helps strengthen the affected muscle. The current setting can change to allow for a forceful or gentle muscle contraction. Along with increasing muscle strength, the contraction of the muscle also promotes blood supply to the area that assists in healing.

Can be worn all day or on an as needed basis. Device features include adjustable pulse rate, pulse width, and amplitude (intensity). Placements of electrodes are usually at pain site or along the nerve channels, called dermatomes.

MPO US 1000 3RD EDITION PROFESSIONAL ULTRASOUND

MPO US 1000 3RD EDITION PROFESSIONAL ULTRASOUND

Ultrasound is unique in that the longitudinal waveform associated with sound is not electromagnetic in nature.

The piezoelectric crystal converts electrical energy into a strong vibratory sound wave or Ultrasound, a sound beyond the normal range of our hearing. Sound waves cause vibration in soft tissue cells, increasing temperature and inducing vasodilatation.

Advance pain relief using sonic stimulation of soft tissue cells. The Ultrasound Machine is for treatment of body tissues for selected medical conditions such as relief at pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures. Sound waves cause vibration within soft tissue cells, increasing temperature and inducing vasodilatation.

Treatment duration is determined by the medical practitioner and may range from 2~5 minutes depending on the conditions treated and anatomic target site. Because air is a very poor sound conductor Ultrasound gels are used to conduct the wave energy to the skin.

MPO US 1000 3RD EDITION PROFESSIONAL ULTRASOUND

Professionals Often Use Ultrasounds to Treat the Following:• Reduce Pain• Increase Painless Range of Motion in Many Types Of Joints• Post-Injury, Post Surgery• Muscle and Joint Inflammation• Tissue Swelling• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome• Tennis Elbow• Tendonitis• Bursitis• Frozen Shoulder• Arthritis• Reduce Scar Tissue• Sciatica• Low Back Pain• Neck Pain

BIODEX SYSTEM 4 QUICK SET

BIODEX SYSTEM 4 QUICK SET The new Biodex System 4 combines the art and

science of rehabilitation. Dynamic and static muscle loading environments provide unlimited combinations of technique and application.

The S4 provides assessments of physical impairments to provide patients with a fast, effective, documented return to function. The S4 is unusually sensitive to patient limits; progressive and interactive features maintain complete control.

The Biodex System 4 offers a level of performance, accuracy, and safety that remains unmatched. Not surprisingly, Biodex equipment marks the highest correlation coefficients for reliability, accuracy, validity and repeatability - another reason why so many clinicians put their trust in Biodex.

BIODEX SYSTEM 4 QUICK SET Touch-screen monitor; for quick, easy operation. Improved software; In today’s regulated

environments, accurate and timely data collection and documentation are absolutely essential.

Patient positioning; set-ups are simple as turning the dynamometer and chair to the labeled joint pattern.

On-demand action videos; visual reminders demonstrate exercise and test patterns.

Caters to all skill levels; easy-to-follow on-screen guides assist the inexperienced user while the Windows- based application is flexible for the advanced.

Attachments for ankle, knee, shoulder, elbow, and wrist

BIODEX ERGOMETER: UPPER BODY CYCLE

BIODEX ERGOMETER: UPPER BODY CYCLE

The Biodex Upper Body Cycle is a versatile ergometer that meets the demands of any orthopedic rehabilitation, cardiac, sports medicine, wellness, or general conditioning program.

It will exercise individuals with limited lower-body function, help rehabilitate a wide variety of shoulder, back, neck, wrist, and elbow patients, and give healthy athletes a grueling workout

The "Quick-Start" feature gets your first-time cyclists right into their exercises. Isokinetic (speed control) provides accommodating resistance throughout the cyclist's entire range of motion for the duration of the exercise period. Resistance continuously matches effort, accommodating to variations in the patient's force output due to weakness or pain at specific points in the individual's range of motion, and to fatigue over the course of the cycling period.

BIODEX ERGOMETER: UPPER BODY CYCLE

Warm-Up: Provides a great warm-up prior to all upper body exercises.

ACL: Enables early phase ACL patients to perform cardiovascular activities.

Throwing Athlete: Stand patient next to the UBC in a 90°/90° position and perform internal/external rotation against bi-

directional isokinetic resistance.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Excellent warm-up prior to activities.

Wheelchair Patients: Low seat height makes wheelchair transfer easy or seat can be removed entirely to allow exercises

while remaining in the wheelchair. Adjustable pivoting actuator easily accommodates all wheel chair patients.

Radial Head Fracture: Begin patient with actuator adjusted in low position thus decreasing elbow flexion. As ROM increases,

raise actuator to increase elbow extension.

Lumbar Sprain/Strain: Start the patient seated against the back of the seat providing lumbar support, progress to front edge

requiring more lumbar stability, then to standing in neutral spine which requires full lumbar stabilization.

Rotator Cuff Repair: Begin immediately with shoulder ROM exercises below 90 degrees shoulder flexion.

Total Hip and Total Knee Replacements: Upper Body Cycling to prevent deconditioning of the older patient.

Cardiac Patients: Allows usage of smaller muscle groups and strengthening of chest muscles following open heart

surgery. Maintains cardiovascular health in patients faced with a debilitating lower extremity injury or paralysis.
