Page 4: Parts And Components
1. PARTS AND COMPONENTS The ability to test or exercise in a functional pattern is important because, in real life activities, musculature other than the abdominals and erector spinae are used to perform such tasks as lifting. The semi-standing posi- tion, in which the seat is slightly reclined from horizontal, allows for hip involvement and a range of motion comprising both lumbar and sacral movement. -

Connecting the Back Attachment to the Biodex System 3 (See Figures 4 - 8.) Figure 4. The Biodex Dual Position Back Ex/Flex Attachment secured to the Biodex Multi-Joint System. 1. Position the dynamometer facing out from the chair at the center of the top of the T-base (0-degrees rotation). - Page 8 3. SETUP PROCEDURE 9. Lock all four casters on the back attachment. 10. Tighten the dynamometer height, tilt and rotation locking knobs. The system is now ready for use. Figure 5. Align the connecting hub red dot with the dynamometer shaft red dot.

The Biodex Dual Position Back Ex/Flex Attachment and Biodex Multi-Joint System with a patient in the semi-standing (functional) position. NOTE: It is recommended that patients remove their glasses during testing or exercise with this attachment.
- Page 11 5. LOWER EXTREMITY EXERCISE 5. Seat patient. Move patient anteriorly or posteriorly to approximate longitudinal spinal axis with the fixed axis of the Back Ex/Flex Attachment. 6. Position footrest so that femur is nearly parallel to seat. Knee angle will be approximately 15 degrees. Note the value indicated on the footrest position scale so that it may be entered under subject setting.

Page 16: Clinical Applications
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS PASSIVE MODE 1. The passive mode may be used to assist patients through a range that they cannot actively move through, thereby helping to increase range of motion. 2. Non-reciprocal contraction types (Concentric/Eccentric, Eccentric/Concentric) or eccentric contractions types may be performed in a passive mode. -
Page 17: Maintenance
In early stages of rehab this may be attractive to the clinician and patient. 3. Mark Rowinski, PhD, PT, (Biodex Clinical Protocol Manual, 1988) states: "The therapist must focus on the motor control mechanism, and since bending is assisted by gravity, the eccentric activity of the trunk extensors should be the prime focus early in the rehabilitation process. - Page 18 Certified Quality Management System IODEX Biodex Medical Systems, Inc. 20 Ramsay Road, Shirley, New Y ork, 11967-4704 Tel: 800-224-6339 (In NY and Int’l. call 631-924-9000), Fax: 631-924-9241 Email: sales@biodex.com, www.biodex.com...
