Green room for neuromuscular training

In Isokinetic we believe that excellence in rehabilitation, using the most innovative technologies and evidence based medicine, are not just for professional sports men and women, but should be available to all.

Isokinetic, should be seen as sports medicine centre, much more than a simple physiotherapy centre, having always the “exercise is medicine” philosophy as its core strategy with the patient. Isokinetic is the only sports medicine centre in the world with a “Green Room", designed for neuromuscular training for rehabilitation. The Isokinetic Green Room is a latest generation biomechanical laboratory in which it is possible, through the observation and detailed recording of a patient’s movements, to identify and correct incorrect postures and movement patterns. This innovative rehabilitation environment is focused on restoring and improving movement quality and reducing the risk of re-injury.

Isokinetic’s Green Room however, is more than just a room. It is a philosophy. A proof of our strong belief in the retraining of movement patterns and optimising the quality of exercise.

In a later phase of your rehabilitation path a MAT test operates inside the green room. You will follow the same path as some of the greatest names in football and international competitive sport usually do, and the results of the MAT test will be used to create a tailor-made rehabilitation program drawn up for you. You will be able to restore correct movement patterns.

The design of the Green Room

The biomechanical Lab of the green room is equipped with

• large, multi-panel LED screen
• high speed cameras, 2 lateral and one frontal
• high quality 4G synthetic turf to absorb ground forces
• a force platform and software system are used to record the force, pressure, direction, timing and speed of movements

Green Room: present and the future of sports rehabilitation

With the design of the Green Room we have integrated the latest scientific evidence with the best applied technologies.  We offer our patients a unique biomechanical and neuromotor training service, that is constantly updated by the central work of our Education and Research Department. Once the patient’s movement profile is established through specific tests, the highly specialised therapist takes care of patients with approaches aimed at optimising movement patterns in order to reduce the risk of injury and optimise the performance.

The personalised neuromotor training protocol includes rehabilitation exercises to be performed in the Green Room under the supervision of our therapist. Thanks to the videowall and the feedback methods it is possible for the patients to observe and correct wrong movements in real time.

The correction of the wrong motor patterns is done using an integrated system of video analysis and a force platform that allows our staff to optimise the movement strategies with different goals for each patient.
