The Dynamic Edge® RPM™ The Dynamic Edge Rehab System incorporates principles of balance boards, wobble boards, lateral hopping (plyometrics), as well as concentric and eccentric resistance exercises to the quadriceps and hamstrings. This machine also provides core muscle strengthening and increased muscle balance function. To increase weight bearing, resistance and overload principles, a weight vest is available as an accessory option.

Dynamic Edge RPM includes:
	1) 2 Tilt Board Angulating Footpads The Dynamic Edge accomplishes balance and coordination training by using individual tilt boards to stand on while performing side-to-side sliding movements. The 2 independent-action footpads allow medial/lateral tilting.
	2) Slide Board Aluminum Slide Plate The Aluminum slide plate allows the 2 independent-action footpads to be adjusted quickly into 8 stance positions. This also offers the trainer the ability to upgrade to the Upper Body Edge.
	3) Assistant Coach Balance Bar The Assistant Coach Balance Bar is provided for balance throughout varying stages of rehab. It also provides the option of variable locations for resistance cords.
	4) 13 Quick Change Progressive Resistance Quick release pins for immediate changing of resistance to any one of 13 different levels to accommodate all ages and abilities.
	5) Poles for Balance and Coordination Poles provide a natural progression for developing balance and coordination. Ergonomic grips for comfort. Made of light-weight aircraft aluminum. Non-marking rubber tips protect floors.

ACL Rehabilitation

The Dynamic Edge provides a safe and effective complete ACL rehab program. Recent studies indicate that balance, coordination and perturbation training is vital in the rehab of ACL injuries. Tilt boards, roller boards, slide boards and wobble boards have been used as important rehab tools for ACL rehab. Lloyd D, in JOPST 2001:31, demonstrated that stability and balance training stimulated ligament and capsule proprioceptors reinforcing co-contraction of muscles leading to improvement in joint stability. Fitzgerald, Axe, Snyder-Mackler (Physical Therapy 2000:80) demonstrated that subjects with non-operative ACL injuries were 5 times more likely to successfully return to high-level physical activities if they received perturbation training than if they received only the standard strength and conditioning program.
