The document summarizes a Baltimore Therapeutic Equipment (BTE) device that provides measurable upper limb resistance training. It has two main components - a controlled resistance assembly with multiple attachments and positions, and a microprocessor to select resistance levels and measure performance. The BTE is used in rehabilitation to strengthen muscles through graded resistance training after range of motion and movement control are achieved. It objectively measures clients' performance and provides feedback to aid rehabilitation and training.

- 3. ABOUT • The BTE is a commercially produced device which has been designed to provide specific repetitive upper limb motions against measurable resistances over a measurable period of time. • The instrument can simulate a variety of movements in different planes. • There are two primary components: a controlled resistance assembly with 17 attachments and multiple positions and a microprocessor which allows selection of the desired resistance level and measures performance. The instrument can be used in both static and dynamic exercise modes.
- 4. • The BTE is used in Functional capacity assessment or evaluation(FCE) • It is used in the late stages of rehabilitation because strengthening of work should only be started when one has gained optimum ROM and control movement. • can be set to stimulate a large range of tasks and becomes particularly useful when starting to build strength. • Amount of force the person needs to apply can be graded by varying the amount of resistance required to move the chosen handle.(..grading)
- 5. • BTE's advanced physical therapy, occupational therapy, and athletic training equipment improves clinical decision-making, generates measurable outcomes, and enhances the success of the modern orthopaedic hospital, physiotherapy clinic, occupational therapy practice, and athletic training facility. • Elite physical testing, rehabilitation and conditioning professionals around the world rely on BTE functional evaluation and rehabilitation systems to deliver quality care and superior results.
- 6. Features & Benefits • Provide Objective, Evidence-Supported Evaluation, Treatment and Training • The BTE is the ultimate equipment because it delivers objectivity and real time data capture - from initial evaluation and baseline measurement through completion of a rehabilitation or training program. • Quantitative measurement and documentation of the client’s output. Clients' performance is automatically recorded and tracked as they progress through rehabilitation. Objective reports are stored and can be retrieved at any time to gauge patient effort, and to review progress and results achieved on the system. • offers real time, visual feedback onscreen in evaluation mode allowing you to immediately see and assess your client's effort and level of performance. In treatment/exercise mode, you can allow your clients to view the real time visual feedback and progress graphs to keep them motivated. • The BTE provides clients with clear feedback, which can help to motivate them.
- 7. Features & Benefits • the automatic recording of measurements makes it possible for clients to work on programs with minimial therapist supervision. • graded increase of the difficulty level of tasks in small, measurable increments, minimizing the risk of injury • simulation of movements with resistance in two directions or only one. • simulation of a broad range of tasks in a small amount of space. • assessment of strength and function in the performance of static and dynamic movements, as well as measurement of isometric contractions, allowing clients to practice appropriate neuromotor patterns.
