E-LINK Evaluation & Exercise Overview
E-LINK modules for Evaluation and Exercise combine precision instruments for clinical measurements with computerized activities to provide unique opportunities for both physical and neurological rehabilitation.
The H500 Hand Kit consists of the Dynamometer for hand grip strength measurement and the Pinchmeter for hand pinch strength measurements.
-
The Biometrics Dynamometer utilises precision load cell technology to increase the sensitivity and accuracy of measurement of
even very low grip strength forces. By using the industry standard Jamar design exterior comparisons can be made with standardised
normative data included in the E-LINK software - The unique electronic Biometrics Pinchmeter has a low profile design that enables the clinician to accurately quantify pinch strength at closer to end range than any other device
- When used with the E-LINK Activity Modules, the Hand Kit can be used for gross isometric strengthening as well as for muscle re-education and motor control rehabilitation
The FP3 ForcePlate is designed for maximum versatility in a wide variety of clinical settings. Combining multiple FP3 increases the evaluation and exercise options.
-
One FP3 ForcePlate is used for unilateral measurement of weight bearing and weight bearing exercise in both the upper and lower extremity
- Two FP3 ForcePlates are used for bilateral, single axis measurement of weight bearing and distribution. Measurement of either right/left OR front/back over specified time intervals produces clinical reports and progress reports over multiple sessions. Single axis exercises in the upper and lower extremities in standing or seated positions
- Four FP3 ForcePlates are used for simultaneous dual axis evaluation of right/left AND front/back weight bearing and distribution. Clinical reports of the measurements are displayed and printed as both graphs and tables. Progress reports of multiple sessions over time. Both single axis and multi-axis exercises for upper and lower extremities in standing or seated positions
E-LINK Activity Modules
E-LINK is computerized graded therapeutic exercise utilizing computer games for exercise. While the patient is playing the games, they are getting their exercise. The Activity Modules may be controlled by a variety of inputs, depending upon the patient’s physical and cognitive status.
The standard peak grip measurements, standard peak pinch measurements, and the peak forceplate
(one, two, or four FP3) measurements are used to define the parameters for exercise in the Activity set-up screens.
The E-LINK Exercise software consists of 19 Activity Modules. The Activity module parameters are set by the Therapist and may be graded depending upon a patient’s physical and cognitive status.
The Activity Modules are designed for a wide variety of clinical applications. Simple basic modules are appropriate for patients with neurological involvement such as early stroke rehabilitation and for paediatrics. More complex and challenging modules are used as the patient progresses and for orthopaedic rehabilitation.
E-LINK Exercise Components:
The E-LINK evaluation & exercise components may be purchased separately or combined with other evaluation or exercise components to make a comprehensive evaluation and exercise system.
The H500 & FP3 require the X4 InterX Unit as the interface to the computer
