Our clinic uses the DynaMo Handheld Strength & Range of Motion system to perform more than 300 individual tests.
DynaMo is a handheld dynamometer and inclinometer for modern practitioners.
We have invested in DynaMo because it’s a modular device featuring five Smart Attachments that allows us to perform more than 300 strength and range of motion tests.
DynaMo uses Near-Field Communication technology to wirelessly detect a range of five quick-release Smart Attachments, which include a palm pad, a flat pad, a curved pad and tension links – all of which connect to the device instantly and are detected automatically.
The attachments allow us to perform a wide range of push and pull tests, while DynaMo’s in-built 9-axis Inertial Measurement Unit also allows us to measure range of motion.
An adjustable Grip Strength Attachment transforms the device into a highly versatile hand dynamometer.
​
Some of the tests include:
• Push Test
• Pull Test
• Fixed Point Tests
• Range of Motion Test
• Grip Strength
Our Clinic uses the next generation of Wireless Blood Flow restriction training.
AirBands make BFR easy to implement, but there is a range of different applications for occlusion training.
From strength training and endurance training to recovery and rehabilitation exercise, BFR has been proven to yield outsized gains in almost every area of exercise, at as little as 20% of one-repetition maximum loads.
This means it is perfect for getting you results quickly when you are injured.
​
AirBands use embedded algorithms to calibrate to your unique limb occlusion pressure (LOP). Tap calibrate in the AirBands app and the cuffs will automatically detect your LOP, then allow you to select what percentage you’d like to exercise at.
Research recommends training at 50% of LOP for arms and 80% for legs, but you can choose any level of occlusion you wish (up to a maximum of 80%).
​
Common areas we use BFR for;
- Quads and Hamstrings After ACL Reconstruction
- Tricep and Rotator Cuff after Shoulder Injury
​- Calf Muscle after Achilles rupture
