Health Testing and Measurement

Throughout the world, the Biodex is considered the gold standard for objectifying muscle strength. The Biodex is capable of measuring the muscle strength of almost all joints both isokinetically and isometrically. The Biodex can be used as a measuring instrument in scientific research, during rehabilitation of recreational and elite athletes, and for training purposes. 

During these consulting hours, clients will be tested on the Biodex. The student plays an active role in this process and learns to use the Biodex, interpret the results and communicate these to the client.

Ergospirometry is the gold standard for measuring a client’s exercise capacity. A cycling or walking test and analysis of oxygen uptake can provide a good impression of this. A physician is always present during these tests.

Motion analysis is becoming increasingly common in the professional field. During these sports consulting hours, we analyse sports-specific movements. This ties in nicely with the walk-in consulting hours. Students are introduced to analysing movements in an approachable manner. 

These consulting hours are intended for athletes with movement-related issues, as well as injured and healthy athletes.
