1 Time & Research- Twenty plus years in the Physical Therapy, Athletic Training, and Strength and Conditioning environment has demonstrated through research and performance a superior development of muscle synergy and joint mobilization as compared with isokinetics, theraband or free weights.(1) (2) It is exceptional in producing strength gains in upper and lower extremities as compared to isokinetics, theraband or free weights.(3) (4)
 2 Versatile- Because it is neurologically based, it is applicable to all sports and related injuries and can be applied to every joint and soft tissue issue from the tip of the toe to the top of the head. It is exceptional as an injury prevention tool.
3 Safe- With millions of patients and thousands of athletes use a year, for over 20 years, there has never been one reported complaint of any form of injury.
4 User Friendly- Users (patients or athletes) love the Impulse Inertial Exercise workout experience. Many professional athletes, after training, purchase systems for their homes to maintain performance benefits.
5 Efficient & Durable- Impulse Inertial Exercise Trainers occupy only 24 square feet of machine and work environment while bei ng applicable to every athlete or patient you have. Machines purchased 20 years ago are still working in facilities with the same efficiency as the day they were installed. They just don’t break.
6 Physician Friendly- Your team doctors will be impressed with the results you produce with your athletes. Once physicians are educated to the benefits you’ll see prescriptions specifically indicating Impulse Inertial Exercise.
 7 Guilt by Association- Research is good but it doesn’t win world championships. Our technology has gone with athletes to the head of the class (world championships) in Boxing, Golf, Football, Baseball, and Olympic Swimming. If quality training has anything to do with winning, then we are guilty by association. Winners like ViJay Singh, Evander Holyfield, Curt Shilling, and many more.
8 Profitable- If you are charging for services, it’s billed independently as neuromuscular reeducation (97112), therapeutic procedures (97110), or therapeutic activities (97530). In this setting you actually get paid appropriately for the services you provide your athletes or patients.
7 Affordable- At only $3,600 for a single and $7,200.00 for a dual you are looking at a technology that will give you years and years of service for every mission you have for your athletes.
1. JOSPT Volume 20, Number 5, “Muscle Torque Changes Caused by Inertial Exercise Training”, Mark Albert, MEd., PT, ATC; Ellen Hillegass; Peter Spiegel, November 1994 This research was the first to document superior strength gains in training with inertial exercise versus other methods of training. Here inertial exercise outperformed isokinetics, theraband, and free weights as measured by isokinetics. The final result measured being strength gains both eccentrically and concentrically.
2. Journal of Athletic Training, NATA, Volume 30, Number 1, “Functional Plyometric Exercises for the Throwing Athlete”, David Pezzullo, MS, PT, ATC; Steven Karas, MS, ATC; James Irrgang, MS, PT, ATC March, 1995 This paper reviewed the practical application of inertial exercise to the throwing athlete. It chronicles the performance aspect of training as no other training device known can duplicate the functional angular velocities of inertial exercise.
3. Journal of Athletic Training, NATA, Volume 30, Number 3, “Kinematics & Electromyographic Analysis of Elbow Flexion During Inertial Exercise”, James Tracy, MS, PT, ATC, CSCS; Shuchi Obuchi, MS, PT; Ben Johnson, PhD, September 1995 This paper duplicated the Albert et.al. research with an emphasis on EMG. (The Albert paper only measured strength gains). This paper documents considerable EMG activity in several modes of muscle contraction. Again inertial exercise outperformed other forms of training both in strength gains as well as EMG volume.
4. Medicine and Science in Sports Exercise, Volume 33, Number 10, “Electromyographic activity and applied load during seated quadriceps exercises”, James W Matheson, Thomas W. Kernozek, Dennis C.W., and George J. Davies, October 2001 This paper compares inertial exercise to other forms of strength training such as free weights, isokinetics, and theraband much like the previous papers. However, this paper tests the lower extremities rather than the upper extremities. EMG analysis was the main interest, however strength gains were measured. The results were similar to previous research in that inertial exercise outperformed the other training devices and techniques in both strength gains and EMG activity. |
