Model: CON WS. It uses a resistance system that maintains a constant speed during movement, allowing for the measurement of muscle strength and power at a fixed velocity

Leg press for testing and training the lower limbs in the closed kinetic chain. The CON LP leg press is a testing and training machine for the entire leg extensor and flexor chain. It can provide metered, measurable forces from a few N to 6000 N at speeds of up to 1 m/sec. Separate footplates allow unilateral training (on the left or right), bilateral training with both legs, or alternating mode. The adjustable footplate fixtures can be varied for selective testing and improvement of ankle joint stability. The backrest can be lowered right down into a horizontal position at any time. The high level of precision of the metered, measurable forces and the exceptional properties of the motion monitor through the drive system produce an extremely versatile area of application on a minimum workspace of just 1.8 x 2.5 meters including the control module. Due to the functional motion, the entire muscle chain of the lower limbs is strengthened, while the coordination is simultaneously improved and the joint stability increased. The optimally adjusted load and strain of the (atrophied) musculature beyond the entire radius of motion can bring about a very sharp increase in the muscle strength and a significant improvement to coordination. All of this occurs without any excessive strain on the joint, especially in physiologically awkward positions. CON LP facilitates working with all movement modes and load types: Isokinetic, isometric, isotonic, in continuous passive motion (CPM) and with freely definable position profiles. In its ballistic mode, CON has a one-of-a-kind controls system. Here, in order to compensate for the inertia of moving body parts, the expected motional development is calculated beforehand and the generated “inner strength” is continuously equalised. To this user, this means the following: the motion can be executed functionally, realistically and for longer at the desired target speed – particularly with minimal effort, at high motion speeds or when large body segments are being moved. CON ballistic mode enables both isokinetic and isotonic work. Another advantage is the active compensation for gravitational force during training and diagnosis. Patients with little strength are often unable to move individual segments of their bodies without assistance. This means that active compensation for these static weight influences is required. While the movement is being performed, the dynamometer can continuously reduce the external forces or even compensate for them completely; this produces a “gravity-free”’ situation for the patient where every movement can be performed with minimal expenditure of force. CON software also offers the option of merely measuring the forces acting on the movement, without active compensation. When evaluating data, the measured values can then be displayed as “gravity-corrected”.

CON TP is a special isokinetic back module, ideal for the testing and training of straight trunk musculature with its flexor and extensor muscles. It is connected to the CON MJ system, the measuring range of version TP 500 being designed for rehabilitation and leisure. The many customisation options, easy positioning and numerous different load types of CON human kinetics software make possible various testing and therapeutic applications of the trunk. Together with the various load modes operated by the PM control module, the freely definable scope of motion in the range between –15 ° and +105 ° enables the therapeutic handling of numerous problems related to longitudinally-running trunk musculature. The height of both the footplates and knee rests can be electronically adjusted to facilitate easier positioning of the patient. The kneerests are synchronised with the footplates. Just one finger is all it takes to easily change the position of even those heavier-set patients already standing in the machine.

With the control module PM and a wide range of adapters which are needed for the scheduled tasks, the CON MJ isokinetic multijoint module is a versatile, rotatory testing, training and therapeutic system to test and train all major joints of the upper and lower limbs in the open kinetic chain. The highly flexible mechanism with excellent operator guidance makes objective and reproducible test results possible in every work mode. The mechanical design of the CON MJ is extremely user-friendly: the position of the seat, the seat length, and the inclination of the backrest can be electronically adjusted at the touch of a button. The upholstered seat and backrest offer a maximum of comfortable seating even during long training sessions and are easy to clean. Training while sitting or standing, measurements in the prone or supine position: CON-TREX® MJ offers maximum flexibility in every case. It enables the analysis of both the static and dynamic strength of a joint and the resulting targeted functional musclestrength training and improvement to skills of coordination with possible monitoring and correction during training or therapy. Thanks to its flexible system, the CON MJ allows adjustment close to the joints with maximum stability. The adapters are perfectly adjustable to the anatomical situation of the subject. Isolated joint tests as well as free movements are possible with the wide range of accessories.

LAZR-207 / LAZR-215 / LAZR-115 One advantage of laser therapy is that it can work in the deep area and solve the cause of the pathology at its initial point. This feature can be attributed to two characteristics of the laser: wavelength and power. The emission power also increases the efficiency of the laser, transmitting the beneficial effects to a greater depth. Different wavelengths have different characteristics in terms of diffusion and absorption by human tissues. Since the LAZR series has two wavelength modes, you can choose the appropriate one for each therapeutic purpose. The Pathology Library contains more than 60 pathologies with relative interactive protocols, subdivided by phase.

We are proud to share that Joe Nourse, Senior Physiotherapist, is the first and only physiotherapist in the UK to be trained in using the Meissa OT—a groundbreaking rehabilitation robot developed by Turazmed. To mark this milestone, Joe has written the following piece, offering first-hand insight into the Meissa OT’s capabilities, how it enhances therapy, and the exciting impact it will have on upper limb rehabilitation at STEPS Rehabilitation.
