Re: Workman Comp and B200 Assessments

[Guest guest]

The B200 was made by a former company known as Isotechnologies (N.C.)

There was a maintenance contract support available to an old unit we had in

my past, but I do not remember their name.

Hi Pat,

The B200 measured trunk strength either isometrically or with an isokinetic

mode. In some places such as NC it was touted as something that should have a

separate CPT code, but the industrial commission put it under 97750. Few

places use them at this time, so one question I might have is " what is the goal "

of the request- trunk strength assessment or FCE type use? The answer to the

question may help you know where to go from here

I have used a B200, it is no longer made. It was popular during the mid

80's made by universal gym.

Had great application for lumbar exercise, but lacked some sophistication

for testing. I have one in storage.I was the first in Ky to own one. Some

are currently in use in the Nashville area. Curious , who is asking

Workman Comp and " B200 " Assessments

This is Not an area I have much familiarity in.

I have been asked about " B200 " equipment.

It is my understanding that the " b200 " is no longer manufactured.

If this is true what equipment is used for a " B200 " test and where can

I get information?

If the B200 is still made where can I get information?

Who sells them?

My internet search has not been successful.

Hi, I have an Isostation B200 and use it for resistance exercise for my patients with thoracic or lumbar issues of various sorts.  In fact I participated in the creation of the OOC software for testing. My computer and the software have not been working and I am looking into getting it upgraded. I use the machine without recording anything, and the resistances are manually set. If anyone can help with the computer end please let me know.

Thanks,
