joint and muscle balance tests
assesses injuries and aftereffects
Biomechanical joint-muscle balance tests allow us to objectively assess the extent of injuries and sequelae. To do this, they precisely and reliably measure the levels of functional loss that limit the patient.
This information is essential to understand the patient’s progress during the rehabilitation process, as well as to evaluate the appropriateness of medical and occupational discharge or leave at any given time.
In addition, when the patient does not achieve full recovery, biomechanical tests make it possible to certify sequelae with medical-legal validity. For this purpose, we prepare medical expert reports for the assessment of bodily harm, certifying mobility, strength, and endurance in the lower limbs, upper limbs, and back.
joint mobility
breadth and coordination
Joint balance tests allow us to evaluate the mobility of any joint across all its axes.
We perform active mobility tests, recording the range and maximum amplitude of each movement. The results are included in detail in the biomechanical report, indicating each range of motion in degrees as well as a percentage of normal values.
This information is essential to understand the patient’s level of recovery or sequelae, and to determine which postures and movements can be performed without risk to their health.
muscle strength
isometric and isokinetic
With muscle balance tests, it is possible to assess the patient’s strength across all joint movements.
Strength tests record the myoelectric activity of muscle groups while simultaneously measuring the maximum force generated in each movement. The results are detailed in the biomechanical report, indicating strength levels in kilograms as well as a percentage of normal values.
In this way, we determine the maximum weights, loads, and efforts that the patient can safely withstand.
fatigue resistance
contractile and metabolic
Long-term injuries can sometimes lead to muscle atrophy and loss of tone. Inactivity impairs muscle activation, and the patient experiences early fatigue when facing sustained efforts.
For this reason, our biomechanical tests also include the assessment of fatigue resistance in each muscle group.
These evaluations allow us to determine the patient’s ability to perform repetitive tasks and prolonged efforts over time without experiencing failure.
uXtrain technology
joint-muscle balance
Our uXtrain technology allows us to perform more than 100 different biomechanical joint-muscle balance tests, and even develop customized tests tailored to the patient when necessary.
We study all types of injuries affecting the arms, legs, jaw, and back. For this, we have specific tests for the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, fingers, hip, pelvis, knee, ankle, foot, TMJ, cervical, dorsal, and lumbar spine, as well as studies to assess possible radicular impairments.
In all cases, uXtrain integrates the measurement of range of motion, strength levels, and fatigue resistance, providing an objective, precise, and reliable assessment of the patient’s functional limitation.
Who is it for?
frequent cases
Over the last 20 years, we have performed more than 30,000 biomechanical tests on patients from across Spain. We have treated patients with sequelae resulting from occupational and traffic accidents, as well as many others who have assessed their sports injuries and occupational diseases with us.
We regularly evaluate cases of disc herniations and degenerative disc disease, lower back and neck pain, radicular impairments, rotator cuff tendinitis, subacromial syndromes, chondromalacia and patellar tendinitis, meniscal problems, Achilles tendon ruptures, fractures with osteosynthesis and joint prostheses, sprains and ligament tears, carpal tunnel syndrome and epicondylitis, fibromyalgia, and more.
