Con-trex LP

The CON-TREX® LP leg press is an isokinetic test and training device for the entire leg extension and flexor chain. It can deliver controlled, measurable forces from a few N to 6000 N at speeds of up to 1 m/sec. Separate footplates enable unilateral training (left or right), bilateral training with both legs or an alternating mode. The adjustable footplate attachments can be varied to specifically test and improve the ankle joints in different positions. The inclination of the backrest can be electrically lowered to a horizontal position and the seat angle is synchronised with the backrest adjustment. The low seat height facilitates the positioning of patients with limited mobility.
The high precision of the adjustable, measurable forces and the exceptional properties of the movement monitor thanks to the drive system result in an extremely versatile range of applications on a minimal work surface of just 1.8 x 2.5 metres, including the control module.
The functional movement strengthens the entire muscle chain of the lower extremities, while at the same time improving coordination and increasing joint stability. The optimally adapted loading of the (atrophied) muscles over the entire range of motion can result in a very strong increase in muscle strength and a significant improvement in coordination. All this happens without putting excessive strain on the joint, especially in physiologically unfavourable positions.
