Biodex and Therapeutic Purposes

What is the Biodex?: The Biodex machine is a computer assisted machine that is useful for providing passive range of motion for most joints including the knee, ankle, shoulder, and wrist. This machine allows for a fully customized range of motion limits depending on each individual’s rehab goals, current tolerance, and is useful for providing necessary mobility after a total-knee procedure (for example).

Common uses for the Biodex:
- Total Knee Replacement Rehab
- Isokinetic Training/testing: This machine can regulate exercise speed while allowing for force output within a full range of motion, providing safe and effective resistance that remains accommodating to joint tolerances
- Improving functional mobility and progress after injury or joint surgery
-Objective Data: Can measure strength deficits, track mobility progress, can identify muscular imbalances for highly active individuals or athletes (isokinetic testing).

Here at Burch Physical Therapy, we provide specialized treatment interventions with the use of the Biodex machine that will benefit a wide variety of patient populations, as we are one of very few clinics in the Northstate to provide specialized equipment such as the Biodex!

Foot Care Matters: Check the Bottoms of Your Feet 👣

Most of us are familiar with the balance issues and risk of falls associated with diabetic neuropathy; however, there is an equally dangerous culprit that is not discussed. If you have neuropathy in your feet, daily foot checks and regular foot care aren’t optional — they’re essential.

Neuropathy can reduce or completely take away your ability to feel pain, heat, or injury. That means a small cut, blister, or pressure spot can go unnoticed… and develop into a serious ulcer. In severe cases, untreated ulcers can lead to infection and even amputation.

Here’s how to protect your feet:

✅ Check the bottoms of your feet every single day

Use a mirror or ask for help if needed. Look for redness, cracks, blisters, cuts, swelling, or dark spots.

✅ Inspect your shoes before putting them on

Always check inside for rocks, debris, rough seams, or objects that could cause pressure or injury.

✅ Wear proper footwear

Choose well-fitting, supportive shoes with a wide toe box. Avoid walking barefoot — even at home.

✅ Wear clean, dry socks

Moisture increases risk of skin breakdown. Choose seamless socks when possible.

✅ Moisturize — but not between the toes

Keep skin hydrated to prevent cracking, but avoid excess moisture between toes.

✅ Trim nails carefully

Cut straight across. If you can’t see or reach safely, see a professional.

If you notice a wound that isn’t healing, redness that spreads, drainage, swelling, or warmth — seek medical attention promptly.

Prevention is powerful.

Daily checks can save limbs. 💙

What is DME and why does it matter in physical therapy?
DME stands for Durable Medical Equipment. These products are designed to support your recovery, improve mobility, reduce pain, and help you move safely during daily activities both during and after physical therapy.

DME may include braces, supports, compression sleeves, walking aids, and other therapeutic equipment recommended by your physical therapist. When used properly, these tools help protect injured areas, encourage proper movement, reduce strain, and support long term healing.

Our therapists recommend DME based on your individual needs so you can continue progressing outside the clinic with confidence.

⏳ “How long will it take to feel better?”
One of the most common questions we get in physical therapy!

The honest answer: it depends—because you are unique. 💙
Your timeline can be affected by things like:
✔️ The type and severity of your injury
✔️ How long you’ve had the issue
✔️ Consistency with visits and home exercises
✔️ Sleep, stress, and daily activity levels

✨ Good news: many people start noticing improvements within the first few visits, especially in pain, movement, or confidence. Long-term healing and strength take time—but we guide you every step of the way.

Progress isn’t always linear, but every session is a step forward.
