Utilizing MedX in Physical Rehabilitation of the Lumbar Spine
نویسنده
چکیده
Although MedX equipment has been researched and utilized worldwide, with thousands of patients, there are very few clinics in the Phoenix metro area that have the MedX medical equipment. MedX equipment is often considered the gold standard in spinal rehabilitation, but the equipment is expensive, takes up a significant amount of space, and requires extensive training. "MedX training" involves a stabilized pelvis, torso-mass counterbalance, isometric test points over a full or painfree range of movement, and several other innovative features exclusive to MedX equipment. By utilizing this powerful testing and rehabilitation tool our clinicians are able to identify specific functional weakness and successfully treat many patients that have had limited or little success with other forms of physical therapy or chiropractic care in the past.
