Con-Trex - Model MJ -Isokinetic Multijoint Module for Testing and Training
With the control module PM and a wide range of adapters which are needed for the scheduled tasks, the CON-TREX® 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-TREX® 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-TREX® 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.
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.
