SPINE CONCEPT COREZONE CARDIOThe Spine Concept DevicesGenration LineIn April 2013 David has launched a brand new device series, the David Generation Line. The first stage of this launch consists of theDavid Spine Concept devices. This new device line has brought a number of new exciting improvements to the time tested Daviddevice range. The improvements are not so much in the biomechanical features – as there was very little room here for development- but in the usability and technical detail.CompactThe new line is extremely compact, with an almost 50% smaller foot print than the preceding Future line. Part of this is due to thenew side loaded construction, which allows devices to be placed against walls or each other. Optimized design combining the powertransmission system, together with the weight stack frame, creates simplicity in the design and a smaller device size.SmoothNew power transmission technology, using aircraft cables and direct drive, make these devices completely silent with zero friction.The smoothness of the movement together with perfectly balanced movement arms and correct loading curves create a new level ofsafety and comfort even with the most delicate rehabilitation situations. As always, David relies on the most authentic and effectiveloading method, i.e. selected weights.EasyThe most striking improvements have to do with the ease of use of the devices. Entry to the devices is easy with low thresholds, fastfixations and now also with electronic adjustments. After finding the correct adjustments with the therapist the settings are storedin the cloud. The next time the patient touches the monitor with the rfiD card, adjustments are automatic. Improved fixations maketraining even safer and more targeted with fewer possibilities for in-correct movements.G110 DMS-EVELumbar/Thoracic ExtensionDavid G110 for Lumbar thoracic extension movement measures strengthand allows training of the extension of the lumbar and thoracic <strong>spine</strong> andmeasures mobility in the sagittal plane. It allows people with even severeand prolonged back pain and lack of coordination and strength tostart mobilization and strengthening exercises of the lumbar and thoracic<strong>spine</strong> with complete safety and minimal pain. This is made possible bythe unique hip fixation, which limits the exercise to the lumbar and thoracicarea practically eliminating the activation of the strong hip extensors.Movement is segmental, vertebrae by vertebrae, activating not only thestatic erector muscles but also the dynamic, but weak interspinales androtatores muscles between vertebrae.• Target muscles: Spinalis Thoracis, Iliocostalis Thoracis, Longissimus, IliocostalisLumborum, Spinalis, Intertrans versarii, Interspinalis• Measurements: Width 87 cm, length 126 cm, height 143 cm, weight 338 kgVariants:• Electroninc seat and footplate adjustments• Manual adjustmentsG120 DMS-EVELumbar/Thoracic RotationDavid G120 for Lumbar thoracic rotation measures strength and mobilityand allows training of the lumbar and thoracic <strong>spine</strong> in the transversalplane, allowing exercise with precise loading and range, fully adjusting tothe patient’s situation. The lower body is rotated while the upper body remainsfixed. The starting position – dependent on the mobility of the user –has adjustment in 10 degree intervals. This will provide a marked improvementto the motion control. The movement is carried out in two directions.The lumbar/thoracic rotation musculature is activated through eccentricand concentric movements. This allows for an extremely effective trainingof the oblique muscles (inner and outer lateral abdominal musculature)and the muscles of the transverse spinal system of the m. erector spinae.• Target muscles: Obliquus Externus, Obliquus Internus,Rotatores, Semispinalis, Multifidus• Measurements: Width 130 cm, length 113 cm, height 143 cm, weight 338 kgVariants:• Electroninc seat and footplate adjustments• Manual adjustments
G130 DMS-EVELumbar/Thoracic FlexionDavid G130 for lumbar thoracic flexion allows the measurementand training of the flexion of the lumbar and thoracic <strong>spine</strong>. Thehip-stabilizing mechanism and the curved back padding eliminatepotentially incorrect movement, which might cause stress to thelumbar <strong>spine</strong>. The result is an effective, dynamic segmental movementof the lumbar and thoracic vertebra, which will ultimatelystrengthen the abdominal musculature over its entire movementrange. The range of movement can be adjusted in steps, increasingpreliminary stretching of the elastic and contractile elementsof the agonist muscles. This exercise provides a most effectivemobilization of the thoracic <strong>spine</strong>.• Target muscles: Rectus Abdominus• Measurements: Width 87 cm, length 126 cm, height 158 cm, weight 345 kgVariants:• Electroninc seat and footplate adjustments• Manual adjustmentsG140 DMS-EVECervical Extension/Lateral FlexionDavid G140 for Cervical extension and flexion allows measurementof strength and training for the extension, lateral flexion and flexionof the cervical <strong>spine</strong>, and measurement of mobility in the sagittaland frontal planes. To determine load dosage, the same fundamentalprinciples used for the other functional exercises of the <strong>concept</strong> areapplied. The risk of over exertion is minimized by a precisely calculatedload resistance for all the varying individual training plans. Newlyimproved smoothness in the movement makes this device an evenmore important part of the Spine Concept.• Target muscles: Splenius, Erector Spinae, Levator Scapulae,Trapezius, Sternocleidom., Longus Colli, Scalenus ant., Longus Capitis• Measurements: Width 108 cm, length 98 cm, height 169 cm, weight 196 kgVariants:• Electroninc seat adjustment• Manual adjustmentsG150 DMS-EVELumbar/Thoracic Lateral FlexionDavid G150 for Lumbar thoracic lateral flexion is used to quantifythe mobility of the lumbar and thoracic <strong>spine</strong> in the frontal planeand to analyze and train the muscle strength and/or functional capacityof the isolated lumbar/thoracic lateral-flexion musculature.Analogue to the G110 and G130 units, the patient or user – dependingon the position of L3 /L4 vertebra – is positioned correctlyaccording to the axis of rotation of the exercise device in relationto the body. The torso or shoulder axis is fixed via a shoulderstabilizingmechanism. As with the David G120, the movement iscarried out in two directions, allowing the lumbar/thoracic lateralflexionmusculature to be activated by eccentric and concentricmovements as well.• Target muscles: Quadratus Lumborum, Psoas Major• Measurements: Width 96 cm, length 114 cm, height 143 cm, weight 305 kgVariants:• Electroninc seat adjustment• Manual adjustmentsFor more information visit www.david.fi
