Biodex System 3
The Biodex System 3 Pro is an advanced, multi-purpose device that allows clients to retrain specific muscular deficiencies in the body. It can be used as an evaluative and diagnostic tool to identify weakness and muscular imbalances, and can also be utilised as a rehabilitation device to assist in the specific retraining of those impairments.
The System 3 Pro’s computerised testing allows the therapist to determine specific deficiencies in strength from one side to the other through varying speeds of resistance. By using this procedure, the therapist is able to determine various parameters such as the torque, work and power produced during the movement. The data obtained through this testing then assists the therapist in creating a client-specific rehabilitation program to address any deficiencies identified.
The System 3 Pro utilizes isokinetic resistance. Isokinetic resistance is a mode of training wherein the particular joint is taken through a specific range of motion at a predetermined speed. This allows the client to produce a self-regulated force throughout the motion, thereby ensuring safe and effective resistance training specifically designed for the needs of the client. Because the resistance continuously matches the client’s effort, it accommodates variations in patient force output due to weakness, pain or fatigue at specific points in the client’s range of motion. Research has demonstrated that isokinetic resistance is a safe and objective means to quantify physical impairments, with a high correlation to function. Isokinetic testing is considered by many as the standard for assessment of specific functional strength deficiencies.
The System 3 Pro also allows for passive motion of the affected joint. This mode provides clients with the opportunity to facilitate movement of the joint at differing speeds and control specific strengthening by using varying amounts of movement, speed and resistance as co-ordinated by the therapist. This in turn can lead to a reduction in joint swelling, increasing range of motion and developing strength and neuromuscular control.
Use of the System 3 Pro in combination with our therapy services will help clients to identify specific muscular deficits applicable to their activities. By recognising and treating these abnormalities, we at Toronto SEMI are striving to return our clients to regular activity as quickly as possible following injury.

My thanks to you and your staff, because with the benefit of your expertise and care I was able to complete my first marathon in 4 hours, 22 minutes and 43.2 seconds. I came to you at the beginning of October with IT band trouble. Here I was trying to complete a marathon that was less than 3 weeks away and I could not run more then 45 minutes without being stopped by the pain. What I appreciate most, and what makes your practice so unique and valuable, is that you acknowledged my drive to compete. So often when speaking with medical professionals regarding sports injuries they focus on the injury and not what the athlete is trying to accomplish. Thank you, for working with me and giving me the tools and treatment to accomplished my goal.
