April 20, 2016

Biodex is dedicated to furthering the education of future physical therapists

Biodex was pleased to host its annual visit from the Suffolk County Community College physical therapy students. The event, which was held at the Biodex corporate office, was intended to provide the students with an overview of isokinetics and hands-on demonstrations of the System 4 Dynamometer, the Balance System SD, and the Gait Trainer 3.

During the meeting, Don Gronachan, Vice President of Physical Medicine Sales, Tom Giammanco, Inside Sales Manager and Natalie Thompson, Education Administrator and Applied Clinician discussed the principles and advantages of isokinetics, the importance of objective documentation, and the value of the programs we offer to enhance the versatility of the products.

Once the session moved from the Biodex Learning Center on to the demonstration area, the students were divided into three small groups. They volunteered for hands-on product demos to familiarize themselves with the devices and their functions, and observed the reports generated for proving need, tracking progress and documenting outcomes.

The group appeared to be very inquisitive and attentive throughout the event. This was a great opportunity for the students of our community to gain valuable knowledge from experts in their field of study.
