" I think they're great for recruiting hamstrings in my post-op ACL patients, and I like using them during bike fittings to illustrate proper spinning.

Overall, I think they are great and use them with at least 50% of my knee patients."

"PowerCranks™ is a great tool to teach ALL athletes of ANY sport the importance of leg independence.

It facilitates pedaling efficiency of a cyclist as well as overall speed with any running athlete. We use PowerCranks™ throughout the rehabilitation and training spectrum.

"PowerCranks™ have been an invaluable tool not only for my rehab patients but also my clients who are training with Fisher Sports for athletic performance enhancement.

PowerCranks™ provides the quality type of muscle contractions and sequencing to mimic running and walking. From hip flexors to hamstrings to proper ankle dorsiflexors, the PowerCranks™ are an excellent way to train those individuals who do not or cannot fully "weight-load" their bodies. In other words, the PowerCranks™ provide the instructor an excellent options how to train their clients -

From endurance training to speed training. PowerCranks™ are one of the most innovative and effective tools to come into the health field in a long time!

From our experience with these professionals and many others, we believe PowerCranks are essential tools in sports rehab for the following reasons:

PowerCranks force more work out of the hamstrings than any other training device available. This balances hamstring strength with quadriceps strength, and muscle balance PREVENTS many injuries. Preventing injuries is always preferable to rehabbing them!
After injury/surgery, the affected leg is often significantly weaker than the healthy one. On conventional cranks an injured leg can simply "coast" along as the healthy leg does all the work. PowerCranks? force each leg to operate independently, speeding the rehab process.
PowerCranks create even leg strength during rehab. Most people & athletes are one leg dominant, and when they achieve equal leg strength, they often see performance/health gains
It is just as important to learn to relax muscles as it is learn to contract them. PowerCranks do a superior job of teaching reciprocal inhibition.
