It may also help to have a fixed location from which all subjects approach and leave the chair. Be aware that use of Biodex technology requires professional expertise for • discerning appropriate treatment techniques. Each subject’s unique situation should be taken into account before beginning any type of testing or rehabilitation program.

1. Introduction Indications for Use The Multi-Joint System is used to identify, treat, and document the physical impairments that cause functional limitations typical of sports injuries, orthopedics, pediatric medicine, and neurorehabilitation. Contraindications What are the contraindications to isokinetic testing or exercising? Absolute Contraindications: Acute strain (musculotendinous unit) or sprain (non contractile tissue) •...

After proper height is established, always secure the locking handle. Dynamometer Travel (850-000, 840-000): The Foot Pedals allow the dynamometer to move along the travel in a horizontal plane left or right of the positioning chair. To move the dynamometer, press down on either foot pedal and slide the dynamometer to the desired location.

Comfort Stop. A second Hold/Resume button is activated by a hand-held remote located to the right of the control panel on the Clinical Data Station (CDS) cart. CAUTION: Comfort Stops (Dynamometer, Remote): These buttons provide the subject with the ability to instantaneously terminate exercise in any mode.
Indicator, located at the bottom on either side of the seatback frame. Seat Height (850-000): The motorized seat may be automatically raised or lowered over a range of 14 inches. To adjust the seat height, step down on the <▲> or <▼> Seat Height Foot Switches, located at the rear base of the chair.

NOTE: Be sure to support the Cervical Support with one hand before loosening the locking knob. If the Cervical Support is not supported, it may slide down and pinch a hand as the knob is loosened. Stabilization Straps: The Positioning Chair is fitted with a Thigh Strap and Buckle (secured toward the front on each side of the seat frame), a Pelvic Strap and buckle (secured directly beneath the Seatback Tilt handle on the seat back frame,) and a pair of Shoulder Straps and buckles (secured toward the back on each side of the seat base).
Figure 1.4. Positioning Chair Attachments: T-Bar Adapter Footrest Limb-Support Pad Seatback Brace The Seatback Brace is designed to provide added stability when the seatback is used in a lowered position at zero degrees seat rotation for side lying, supine and prone patterns (particularly of the hip).
4. Loosen the Seatback Brace locking knob. Extend the lower part of the brace and insert the rod-end swivel into the trolley mount clevis. Insert the clevis pin. 5. Position the patient per protocol; lock the Seatback Brace locking knob to secure.
Status/Diagnostics Panel (LEDs): This panel provides information to assist in troubleshooting of dynamometer/control panel problems. In the event of a system malfunction, always be sure to record that LEDs light before attempting to correct a problem or restart the system. Contact a Service Representative whenever the status panel indicates a malfunction.

tags per test or exercise protocol by aligning the white “P” with the red dot for plantar\dorsiflexion or the green “I” to the red dot for Inversion\Eversion. Tighten the lever to secure the footplate in place. Heel Cup Position: To facilitate alignment of the subject’s axis of rotation with the dynamometer shaft, it may be necessary to raise or lower the patient’s foot on the footplate by adjusting the heel cup position.
2. Operation Considerations for Safe Operation of the Multi-Joint Systems: 1. The clinician should always be present during testing or exercise sessions. Do not allow subjects to test or exercise by themselves. 2. Range limits should always be set after the subject is positioned according to protocol and before switching to a test or exercise mode.
Dynamometer Operation screen. The message “Set ROM Limits” should now be displayed in the System Status window at the top of the screen. The system is now ready for use. Note: Should a coded initialization error message be displayed, contact Biodex Customer Service.

Biofeedback Operation – Biofeedback Operation incorporates all the functions that, in earlier versions of Multi-Joint Systems, were controlled by the front panel. In this mode, clinicians can set up and begin patient exercise without entering patient-specific data such as name, address, weight, etc.

reached. In Passive mode, the dynamometer initiates motion when the <Start> button is pressed, requiring no active participation by the subject. Passive Mode Clinical Applications: 1. The Passive mode is frequently used post-operatively for the benefits of continuous passive motion, which assist with nourishment of the joint. 2.
Page 27
Isometric Mode – In this mode, the dynamometer maintains zero velocity at any selected point in the range of motion. Significant change in joint angle and overall muscle length does not occur. Isometric Mode Clinical Applications: 1. The Isometric mode may be used pre- or post-surgery with discretion. 2.
a window of 90 ft-lb (122.4Nm). Reactive Eccentric mode allows for direction changes at any point in the range of motion. Reactive Eccentric Mode Clinical Applications: 1. The Reactive Eccentric mode may be used to perform submaximal or maximal eccentrics. 2.
7. The Multi-Joint System is a versatile piece of equipment, making it difficult to document every possible setup position. If a non-documented position is used, document it. If it becomes a position that is used often, send the information to Biodex. Proper Testing Technique 1.
3. Software Operation Patient Selection Window This window is used to keep track of the patient's general information and test history. The Patient Selection Window displays information such as general patient information, admission dates, release dates, as well as diagnosis. From this window view patient test/exercise information can be viewed and notes can be added.
Protocol Definition Window This window is used to select a test/exercise protocol for the current patient. In the protocol database, there exists a factory-installed list of standard protocols from which to select. Follow steps (1 to 3) to select a protocol. 1.
Linked Protocol Window This window is used to customize a series of protocols that can be used again. Follow steps (1 to 6) to create a sequence of protocols. 1. Click on the Create Linked icon located on the toolbar to open the setup window. 2.
Dynamometer Operation Window This window provides the user the ability to jump between test, exercise, and BioFeedback mode. Operations can be started and stopped from this window. In the middle of this window is a graph that monitors real-time torque applied versus time during dynamometer operations. The patient's name, joint, patterns, and other information about the current mode are also displayed in this window.

Cursors - When Cursors are enabled the user is able to place an "A" and "B" cursor line for easy identification of specific areas between reps directly on the Curve Analysis window.
BioFeedback Mode The BioFeedback mode allows the clinician to setup an exercise session without entering any patient data. There are two ways to use BioFeedback. The first way is to enable the End By option. This option allows the clinician to specify how the session terminates, the number of sets and the number of repetitions for each set.
