At Active Medicine Toronto, we offer Biodex Isokinetic Testing, a gold-standard tool used in orthopaedics, sports medicine, and rehabilitation to evaluate muscle strength, balance, and joint function with unmatched accuracy.

Using the Biodex System, we can measure muscular performance across specific joints and movement patterns under controlled speeds and resistance. This allows us to identify muscle imbalances, detect deficits following injury or surgery, and guide evidence-based rehab or return-to-sport decisions.

What It Measures:

• Muscle strength and endurance.

• Balance between opposing muscle groups (e.g., hamstring vs. quadriceps).

• Torque, power, and fatigue across various joints.

• Symmetry and performance deficits post-injury or surgery.

Why It’s Valuable:

• Ideal for injury prevention, post-surgical rehab, and return-to-play clearance.

• Tracks recovery progress over time with objective, repeatable data.

• Helps tailor treatment plans based on specific muscle group performance.

• Widely used in research, professional sports, and advanced physiotherapy and atheltic therapy settings.

Who It’s For:

• Athletes returning from ACL reconstruction or soft tissue injury.

• Patients recovering from joint surgery.

• Anyone with chronic muscle imbalance, instability, or movement dysfunction.

• Those looking for objective baseline testing before starting a training or rehab program.

Why Choose Biodex at Active Medicine Toronto?
Our experienced clinical team integrates Biodex data into your individualized care plan, ensuring that your rehab or performance training is targeted, measurable, and optimized for results. Whether you’re an elite athlete or working to restore function, this testing helps you move forward with confidence.

At Active Medicine Toronto, we are proud to offer the Lunar iDXA by GE Healthcare, one of the most advanced and accurate body composition scanners available today. This state-of-the-art machine provides a comprehensive assessment of your body using a very low dose of X-rays—equivalent to just 10 minutes of sun exposure.

Why Choose DXA at Active Medicine Toronto?
DXA is the most efficient and medically accurate method of body composition analysis. Unlike methods such as InBody or Tanita, DXA is not affected by hydration, food intake, or recent activity, and provides regional data and visceral fat estimates—making it the gold standard trusted by healthcare professionals.

How It Works:
The scan takes about 10 minutes. You’ll lie flat on your back while the machine scans you from head to toe using a very low dose of x-rays—roughly equal to 10 minutes of sun exposure. The process is quick and non-invasive.

What You’ll Learn:
We’ll provide a printed report and walk you through the findings so you can understand and act on the results. Your report includes:

• Total body fat percentage, lean mass, and bone density.

• Segmental analysis showing fat and muscle distribution in your arms, legs, trunk, and visceral (organ) area.

• Visceral fat estimation, a key risk factor for metabolic disease.

• Fracture risk and indicators of sarcopenia or osteoporosis.

Clinical Applications:
DXA scans are used not only in wellness and fitness, but also in clinical settings to track changes related to aging, training, nutrition, or medical treatments. They support early detection of health risks and help guide personalized interventions.I

At Active Medicine Toronto, we use the KORR CardioCoach PRO system—the industry gold standard for accurate and accessible VO₂ Max testing. Once only available in universities and elite sports labs, this technology now allows us to offer lab-quality cardiovascular fitness testing right in our clinic.

The VO₂ Max Test measures the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during intense exercise. This is the most objective way to assess your aerobic fitness, endurance potential, and performance capacity.

How It Works:
Using mixing chamber technology—the most accurate method available—you’ll wear a mask while running or cycling. The system captures and analyzes your breath in real-time, calculating VO₂ Max, Anaerobic Threshold (AT), and calories burned at every level of intensity.

Why It’s Valuable:

• • Define precise heart rate zones for fat burning, cardio conditioning, or endurance.
  • Improve workout efficiency and reduce risk of injury.
  • Track progress and set realistic training goals.
  • Fine-tune performance for races, events, or personal goals.
  • Trusted by elite trainers, medical professionals, and pro athletes.

We also use the KORR CardioCoach PRO system to measure your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)—the number of calories your body uses at rest for essential functions like breathing and circulation.

How It Works:
During the test, you’ll breathe into a mask while sitting or lying down for about 10–20 minutes. The CardioCoach system measures your oxygen consumption to calculate your RMR with clinical precision.

Why It’s Valuable:

• • Understand your baseline calorie needs.
  • Take the guesswork out of weight loss or maintenance.
  • Support personalized nutrition and fitness planning.
  • Build sustainable, data-driven health strategies.

At Active Medicine Toronto, our treadmill-based gait analysis uses video and motion observation to assess how you walk and run. It provides valuable insights into your movement patterns, stride, and biomechanics—helping identify issues that may contribute to injury or limit performance.

Why It’s Valuable:

• Detects abnormalities in walking or running patterns.

• Identifies causes of joint pain, imbalance, or instability.

• Informs personalized rehabilitation or orthotic needs.

• Beneficial for athletes, post-injury recovery, or chronic pain.

Who It’s For:

• Runners, walkers, and athletes.

• Individuals with knee, hip, or lower back pain.

• Patients recovering from lower limb injuries or surgery.

Balance is essential for injury prevention, performance, and safe movement—especially as we age or recover from injury. At Active Medicine Toronto, our TechnoBody Dynamic Balance System assesses your stability, coordination, and postural control using interactive, real-time feedback.

Why It’s Valuable:

• Objectively measures balance and neuromuscular control.

• Helps reduce fall risk and improve functional mobility.

• Supports rehab and return-to-sport decisions.

• Enhances core control, reaction time, and lower limb symmetry.

Who It’s For:

• Older adults, athletes, and post-op patients.

• Individuals with balance disorders or vestibular issues.

• Those looking to improve core stability and performance.
