Neuromuscular Strength Testing

Biodex Multi-Joint System

Biodex System offers pioneering breakthroughs in neuromuscular testing technology. It features 5 modes of operations: isokinetic, isometric, isotonic, passive motion, and reactive eccentric modes. PEAK Human Performance Science Clinical Research Lab offers multiple protocols to assess upper- and lower-body muscular strength testing. Biodex System can also integrate with wireless EMG sensors to assess muscle activity during muscular strength testing.

Dynamic Strength Equipment

Muscular strength is the external force that can be generated by a specific muscle group. This dynamic strength equipment is used to perform 1 or multiple-repetition maximum testing to assess muscular strength for all the major muscle groups.

Handgrip Dynamometer

Handgrip Dynamometer Vertical Isometric strength can be measured by a handgrip dynamometer using a grip strength test. This assesses the maximal voluntary contraction generated by the arm muscles and is highly correlated with overall body strength.

Balance Testing

Force Plate Balance Platform

The PEAK Human Performance Science Clinical Research Lab offers a complete easy-to-use solution for quantifying and evaluating human balance in clinical studies by measuring three forces and three moments involved in balance, providing outputs that allow easy computation of the center-of-pressure coordinates. The force plate system can also be used to develop balance interventions for study participants.
