Features & Benefits

Provide Objective, Evidence-Supported Evaluation, Treatment, and Training
- The BTE PrimusRS is the ultimate physical therapy equipment, occupational therapy equipment, and athletic training machine because it delivers objectivity and real time data capture - from initial evaluation and baseline measurement through completion of a rehabilitation or training program.
- Clients' performance is automatically recorded and tracked as they progress through rehabilitation or athletic conditioning. 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.
- PrimusRS 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. Set appropriate target goals and exercise pacing to keep clients rehabilitating at an optimal rate and intensity. Keep them coming back with advanced, data-driven rehab and training they just can't get anywhere else but your facility.
Replicate Nearly Any Real World Functional Activity
- In Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Athletic Training, your priority is getting clients back on their feet, back to work, or back on the field. The only way to objectively ensure that your client is capable of performing his or her occupational tasks and movement patterns safely and effectively is through true functional testing and functional rehabilitation. This means replicating the real life tasks your client will be engaging in - at home, at work, or on the field - safely and accurately in your clinic.
- The BTE PrimusRS gives you the power and the flexibility to replicate nearly any real life functional activity in your facility. Primus includes a full standard set of tool attachments including a free-motion cable system. These attachments secure into the fully adjustable workhead offering four different resistance modes - enabling you to simulate just about any functional task. Additional specialized attachments are included in the optional PRO Package.
- What's more - you can easily create your own task-specific custom attachments and tool modifications. With PrimusRS, you are limited only by the bounds of your own creativity in providing your physical therapy, occupational therapy, and athletic training clients with targeted, customized, functional evaluation, rehabilitation, and training/conditioning.
Test and Train the Upper Extremities, Lower Extremities, and Trunk/Core
- PrimusRS delivers powerful clinical applications for physical therapy, occupational therapy, and athletic training of the entire body in the compact footprint of a single, easy to use system.
- PrimusRS software ships pre-loaded with numerous research-supported testing and treatment protocols designed by BTE expert clinicians. Use and customize one of the many pre-built protocols, or easily create your own protocols for testing and treatment.
- Objectively evaluate, rehabilitate and train clients' upper extremities including the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, and shoulder. Test and condition lower extremities including the ankle, the knee, and the hip. Rehabilitate and provide objective core conditioning of the trunk/torso - all on the same system.
