The MedX Rehab Research Publications library includes published articles that validate the use of the MedX Medical Lumbar Extension, Cervical Extension, Cervical Rotation, and Torso Rotation machines. Each article includes a brief summary as well as a downloadable PDF file with the full text.
This research study aimed to demonstrate the efficacy of the MedX Lumbar Extension machine in strengthening the lumbar region of the spine. The method of study was by comparing the machine and its success to previous years without the use of the MedX machine. The study uses three past case… Read More »Specific Spinal Exercise: Three Case Studies Using the MedX Lumbar Extension Machine
This research study aimed to prove how strengthening the lumbar extensor muscles in the spine using specific equipment increased progress. This study compared the progress of two different medical centers that are both using the same treatment protocols and research tactics. The research was recorded and presented in the study.
This research study aimed to demonstrate the effects of strengthening the lumbar extensor muscles through full range of motion (ROM) exercises. The study included several subjects who participated in the tests throughout the duration of the study.
The goal of this research study is to determine how repeated exercises could affect the strength of the cervical region of the spine. Through this study, researchers were able to track how the type and frequency of resistance training can aid in the progress of rehabilitation. The data was recorded… Read More »Quantitative Assessment and Training of Isometric Cervical Extension Strength
The goal of this research study was to determine how exercise training affects the development of lumbar extension strength. This study was also dependent on the presence or absence of pelvic stabilization. The study included different subject groups with different measurements being observed. The data was recorded and proposed in… Read More »Pelvic Stabilization During Resistance Training
In this study taken place in Columbia MO, the two machines called the MedX lumbar extension machine and the Roman Chair were tested to help strengthen the lower back. Lumbar strengthening or isolated muscle resistance training has shown to be 80% of users.
This chapter provides an overview of the physiological principles related to assessing muscular strength and the methods for developing and sustaining muscular strength through exercise. It specifically focuses on the evaluation and training of the isolated lumbar extensor muscles, synthesizing research findings. Normative data for both genders and the interpretation… Read More »Muscle Physiology & Resistance Training
In this study, the physiological and psychological benefits of strengthening the lumbar extension are explored. Chronic low back pain affects many people and the goal of the study is to see if strengthening the lower back muscles helps mitigate lower back pain as well as helping mental health.
The study, “Limited Range of Motion Lumbar Extension Strength Training” is from the Official Journal of the American College of Sports Medicine. Range of motion in lumbar extension strength training are explored. Patients with lower back pain who have lower range of motion use isometric testing and exercises to try… Read More »Limited Range of Motion Lumbar Extension Strength Training
This study was conducted at the Center for Exercise science from the College of Health and Human Performance at the University of Florida, Gainesville. This involved a randomized group investigating the impact of varying frequencies on muscle strength related to torso rotation using MedX Machines.
