Total Trunk
The Total Trunk is a particularly sophisticated equipment that allows to obtain computerized data in relation to the different expressions of trunk’s muscles strength in both static and dynamic position in concentric and eccentric contractions.
The TOTAL TRUNK is the only means allowing evaluation and training of trunk’s flexor and extensor muscles. The Total Trunk’s technical features allow, by means of a single instrument, to activate both abdominal muscles and trunk’s extensors through contractions with isometric, isotonic, concentric and eccentric resistance
Technical features
- Balance of the axis of rotation on the joint fulcrum
- Pelvic fixing system
- Micrometrical blocking of the femur in order to avoid pelvis compensation movements
- Graduality of the workload
- Workload duplicator
- Rotating hooking system of elastic bands
- Technogym® Measurement and Evaluation Software
- Catching and registration of data regarding the strength in the moment of force
- Viewing of all parameters and possibility to carry out all statistical interferences by means of the equipment’s computer.
MAIN EVALUATION TESTS
- Evaluation of column mobility under flexion and extension
- Isometric analysis of peak and medium strength values in different angles
- Measurement of the flexion-extension ratio at different angles
Analysis of strength and speed values, during the trunk’s flexion and extension tests, at concentric and eccentric contraction both in extension and flexion. |
