Features and Benefits

 

The CON-TREX LP (linear system / leg press) was developed in close collaboration with physiotherapists and specialists in the field of sports medicine especially for closed kinetic chain testing and training of the lower extremities. 

The adaptable mechanical basis, together with the user’s guide and the fixation and protocol possibilities provide reliable and reproducible test results in different loading situations.
Load, testing and training protocols are controlled by the Con-Trex Software. The user can select torques and velocities.

The following modes are provided:

• Classic isokinetic mode: con/con, con/ecc, ecc/con, ecc/ecc
• Ballistic isokinetic mode:  con/con, con/ecc, ecc/con, ecc/ecc  
• Classic isotonic mode: con/con, con/ecc, ecc/con, ecc/ecc
• Ballistic isotonic mode: con/con, con/ecc, ecc/con, ecc/ecc  
• Isometric mode: pull, push
• Combined modes: con/CPM, CPM/con, CPM/ecc, ecc/CPM  
• CPM (continuous passive motion)
• Simulation mode (e.g. walking)
• Position controlled and other specific profiles (mathematical position / speed profiles, corresponds to CPM with variable, but strictly position defined speed). These modes are intended to reproduce physiological loading.

The resistance, which is adaptable to the performance of the patient, together with the graphic online presentation of the measured values (visual bio-feedback result), guarantees efficient muscle and/or coordination training. The inertia-free behaviour of the system avoids excessive joint loading in physiologically unfavourable positions.
