PRACTICE SUPPLIES BY K-ACTIVE®:

Your practice may need a change of scenery or are you just about to start a new practice? We’ll tell you which aspects you should consider before you start the new setup. From the stylish therapy table to modern electrotherapy devices to innovative measuring devices – we’ll show you our top picks from our assortment and we’ll explain why these products are absolute must-haves in your practice!

Whether you have a private or a panel practice, both practice models benefit from modern basic equipment in the long term.

As a private practice, you are, of course, much freer to choose your practice equipment than a panel practice. Whichever practice you run, you will always benefit from the advantages of smart practice equipment. According to the furnishing guidelines for physiotherapy practices, the standard equipment includes not only height-adjustable therapy tables and practice stools.

You also need other equipment for your practice. These include equipment for heat and cold therapy, as well as electrotherapy equipment and heat carriers such as mud packs and a suitable warming device. As with the therapy tables, you should make sure that the products are of outstanding quality so that you can use the equipment for as long as possible. So it’s best to choose modern, innovative equipment right away.

To make your patients feel comfortable in your practice and especially during treatment, an appealing ambience is essential. A beautifully furnished practice not only has a calming effect on the patient, but also underlines your professionalism. A completely jumbled interior creates inner turmoil and distraction, and this is perceived not only by you, but also by your patient. As a patient, you often feel unsettled and uncomfortable in medical facilities anyway. With bright, friendly colors and practice supplies in natural tones, you can counteract this and directly create a positive impression.

That’s why you should go for the highest quality here! The therapy table should be one thing above all: Comfortable – for your patient AND for you. Because it is your main workplace. Think of your therapy table as a long-term investment in your practice.
It will be in daily use with patients big and small, light and heavy, young and old. That’s why we advise you to choose a height-adjustable table. It is also important to have adjustable head and leg sections to put the patient in the perfect position. We also consider adjustable armrests to be very useful. Your therapy table should also be adjustable from all sides by means of an all-round switch. The thickness of the padding depends on whether you want to use the therapy table for relaxing techniques or for manual treatments. For the former, we advise you to use a thicker pad, for manual techniques, thinner pads are more suitable. No matter which upholstery you choose, the therapy table should have seamless lying surfaces.

Once you have decided on the shape and equipment, we come back to the design: Choose a color that harmonizes with your floor, wall and other practice furniture.

• electrically height adjustable
• height adjusting can be operated from all sides by means of a rotary switch
• at least 3-section, best 8-section
• seamless lying surfaces
• removable nose slot
• thickness of the cushion

At the beginning of every therapy, the first thing is to diagnose the actual condition of your patient. On this foundation you then build your individual treatment. But most of the time it is not an easy task to find out what is the right therapy for your patient and where are the origins of his problems, weak points and dysbalances. Nowadays there are some devices that help you with the initial diagnosis, and not only that. You can use them throughout your therapy to document progress in rehabilitation or training and create a final assessment.

KForce – the innovation for your therapy. With the analysis tools and training devices you have the possibility to document your entire therapy from start to finish and show your patient his progress. Accurate data allows you to tailor your therapy to your patient at every appointment. The analysis tools are easily controlled via app and can be connected wirelessly via Bluetooth to your cell phone or tablet.

KForce Plates measure balance and force distribution in the lower extremities. The software assesses the load on the left and right extremities separately. This allows you to identify muscular imbalances in your patient and, thanks to the protocol function, you can see the progress your patient has made over the duration of your treatment. Not only can you take static measurements, but you can also measure dynamic movements, such as your patient’s jump force. The app also tells you what force is exerted when performing a squat and how symmetrical this movement was.

After surgery or injury, muscular imbalances and deficits in the range of motion of the affected joints often develop. The KForce Sens, in combination with the app, allows you to develop rehabilitation programs adapted to the specific needs of your patient. The Sens shows you exactly the differences between the injured and the healthy limb. This allows you to customize the rehab training for each of your patients. You can also communicate therapy progress to your patient in a tangible way.

The Muscle Controller and the Bubble are primarily suitable for measuring strength in the upper extremities, but also in the lower extremities. The difference between the two tools: With the muscle controller, the doctor or therapist sets a resistance and a stimulus is applied to the muscles (for example, pressure with the muscle controller against the calf).
The Bubble is a measuring device that is inserted into inflatable, deformable objects. This allows force to be measured during functional movements and exercises. (e.g., squeezing a ball).

Deep oscillation is a unique and innovative procedure with numerous application possibilities. During this process, the treated tissue is set into oscillation by electrostatic impulses. These oscillations penetrate up to 8cm deep into the connective tissue in the area of the soft tissues and promote the supply and disposal of the cells. Deep Oscillation is used to treat scars, lymphedema, chronic pain conditions and overuse injuries, among other conditions, and is used in pre- and post-surgery therapy.
Sounds exciting, doesn’t it? We have a detailed review of Deep Oscillation for you here.
