Dynamic Postural Stability in Blind Athletes Using The Biodex Stability System

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2006
Three systems affect the upright standing posture in humans - visual, vestibular, and somatosensory. It is well known that the visually impaired individuals have bad postural balance. On the other hand, it is a well documented fact that some sports can improve postural balance.

Validation of Biodex system 4 for measuring the strength of muscles in patients with rectus diastasis

Journal of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery, 2012
To investigate the validity and reliability of the Biodex system 4 in the assessment of abdominal strength in patients with rectus diastasis, we studied 10 healthy volunteers and 10 patients with rectus diastasis of more than 3 cm. We assessed test-retest reliability at 30(o) and 60(o) of extension/flexion spinal angles, respectively, and isometric ...

Influence of knee position on the postural stability index registered by the Biodex Stability System

Gait and Posture, 2008
The importance of knee position for bodily stability is described by some authors, however Biodex Stability System (BSS) trials have not been used to assess the reliability and effects of different knee positions. The purposes of this study were to test the reliability of BSS indices using two knee positions in the measurement protocol (either ...

Static and dynamic assessment of the Biodex dynamometer

European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology, 1991
The validity and accuracy of the Biodex dynamometer was investigated under static and dynamic conditions. Static torque and angular position output correlated well with externally derived data (r = 0.998 and r greater than 0.999, respectively). Three subjects performed maximal voluntary knee extensions and flexions at angular velocities from 60 to 450 ...

Reliability of Biodex Balance System Measures

Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2001
This study examined the reliability of measures of dynamic balance obtained using the Biodex Balance System (BBS). Twenty male (n = 10) and female (n = 10) active adults engaged in weight-bearing sports volunteered for this study. Dynamic balance was assessed using measures obtained from the BBS at a spring resistance level of 2.

Evaluation of Ankle Instability Using the Biodex Stability System

Foot & Ankle International, 1999
Ten patients with chronic unilateral functional lateral instability of the ankle were evaluated using the Biodex Stability System. This system uses a multiaxial testing platform which can be set at variable degrees of instability. Patients are then tested for their ability to “balance” the platform during single-limb stance, and a stability index is ...

Reliability and Typical Isokinetic Trunk Values as Measured by the Biodex

Isokinetics and Exercise Science, 1994
The reliability of the trunk Biodex unit (Shirley, NY) was assessed in asymptomatic men (n = 30) and women (n = 29) 20 to 35 years of age. Flexion peak torque (FPT) and extension peak torque (EPT) and maximal repetition work (MRW) were evaluated at 60, 120, and 150 deg/sec. Variables were measured on two occasions on each of 3 days.

The Biodex Isokinetic Dynamometer for knee strength assessment in children: Advantages and limitations

WORK: A Journal of Prevention, Assessment & Rehabilitation, 2011
Objective: To critically appraise the Biodex System 4 isokinetic dynamometer for strength assessment of children. Methods: Appraisal was based on experiences from two independent laboratories involving testing of 213 children. Issues were recorded and the manufacturer was consulted regarding appropriate solutions.

Acute patellar dislocation during eccentric muscle testing on the Biodex dynamometer

Arthroscopy, 1994
Summary Isokinetic training and muscle torque measurements are commonly used during rehabilitation after knee ligament injuries. Isokinetic maximal muscle strength tests are performed to monitor the progress in muscle rehabilitation.
