Rehab training and Elderly - Welcome to Rubicon

Injury Prevention & Rehabilitation

Most injuries will be caused in the ECCENTRIC phase of motion so ECCENTRIC OVERLOAD training is a very good Injury prevention tool. In the case of rehabilitation the DESMOTEC Flywheel devices increase muscle activation and coordination by recruiting those high-threshold motor units and thus aids a quicker recovery whilst decreasing Muscle stress. They also reduce inflammation and pain in Tendons.

Because of its low-impact and non-weight bearing nature, The Desmotec equipment is particularly useful in the rehabilitation from ACL and Rotator Cuff Injuries where there is less strain in the knee and shoulder compared with other methods of rehab.

With the Desmotec Devices you have one complete system for recovery. The Integrated Load cells in each device measure the force in each leg or arm so immediately the physiotherapist can see impbalances

The Eccentric overload(breaking) produced from the the isoinertial technology of the flywheel activates the high -level motor units producing stability and strength accelerating recovery in and around the wounded area

ACL RECOVERY

In the case of a patient facing an ACL rehabilitation; the whole rehab program was based on a specific path focusing on muscular reinforcement, using mainly the Desmotec D and V.

TREATMENT

During the first phases, Desmotec devices played a very important role in monitoring the patient’s progresses on shifting the load from healthy to operated limb, using D for balance and isometric tests, followed by exercises with specific strap on the V. The last phase of the rehab process was focused on achieving the complete leg extension, complete balance recovery and full load on the limb, using the V for functional movement equipped with a specific tool and isometric works.

RESULTS

Desmotec devices -D,E and V, helped the athlete recover from surgery by analysing and testing balance and strength with the E board and training with both the D and V devices. The athlete returned to play quicker than normally stipulated due to the excellent response of the High Motor Units from the ECCENTRIC training

Shoulder Recovery from Rotator Cuff surgery

The Eccentric overloading activates the high-threshold motor units in the complex shoulder region promoting strength stability and also encouraging the the Latismus Dorsi muscle to take some of the strain.

Elderly

Much work has been done with the elderly to prevent falls. The Desmotec Eccentric training activates motor units, long atrophied(sarcopenia), in the elderly allowing them to regain the ability to sit and stand without distress. It also prevents them from being so susceptible to falling.

What Clients Say

Upon my arrival at Wasps I was given the opportunity to create a gym space that I had always wanted to work in. Having visited and trained in many gyms around the world I had a pretty good idea of the kind of working space that I wanted to create. A gym for me has to be able to stand the test of time. I am not one for gimmicky trends that are so often pushed on environments and believe a gym should be a space that, regardless of program, should be able to cater for any program or vision.

Rubicon Sports was the first European company working in the UK that I became aware of that supplied the highly regarded PowerLift strength and conditioning equipment. The choice of this equipment has proved itself over the last 15 years, the equipment is durable and remained current in it design and function.

I have used Powerlift products (supplied through Rubicon) for 5 years now have never been disappointed. Following a very professional fit out and after care I have found the quality of Powerlift still beats anyone else out there. Built to the highest quality, they will last far longer than the competitors and are built with the user in mind. I have experienced a full array of their platforms and benches and their robustness and quality means they still look and operate excellent condition, even after high use.

When setting up our strength and conditioning facility, I wanted our athletes to have access to the finest equipment available that would allow us to deliver the widest range of training inputs, in the knowledge that the equipment would stand up to everything our athletes would throw at it. Power lift equipment was the obvious choice, being the premier product in the industry and I can’t be more pleased with our decision. Despite constant heavy use, the equipment looks as good today as it did when it arrived. It truly does stand the test of time.

In our Olympic training centres, we need to ensure that the equipment we provide for our athletes is of the highest possible quality. It needs to be tough, long lasting and adaptable to our requirements. That is why we have made the choice to install Powerlift equipment in each of our training centres. Powerlift produces an exceptional range of products that allow us to optimise our facilities and enable our athletes to maximise their training and reach their potential.
