 The
Wikco Ankle Machine is an isokinetic ankle strengthening machine that uses
adjustable hydraulic cylinders to provide resistance. Each hydraulic cylinder is
adjustable. Resistance level is indicated by the position the cylinder dial is
set to.
There are 12 levels of resistance. Setting 1 gives the least amount of
resistance, (2-3 ft. lbs. at a velocity in the range of 30 to 60 degrees per
second, less at a lower velocity). Normally this is low enough even for patients
with recent injuries. Setting 12 has enough resistance for even the strongest
athletes (approximately 150 ft. lbs. at a velocity of 90 degrees per second,
more resistance at higher velocities).
Safe hydraulic system eliminates
unrestrained force, greatly reducing the risk of reinjury during therapy.
Hydraulics also provide a smooth motion. Isolate and
work muscle groups without overloading other muscle groups.
The Wikco Ankle
Machine is designed for rehabilitation of the ankle, and for general
strengthening of the ankle for increased athletic performance. Used for years in
hospitals, private clinics, physical therapy practices, assisted living
complexes, high schools, colleges, professional sports teams, as private homes,
the Wikco
Ankle Exercise Machine is highly recommended by a variety of professionals.
