PJ Ewing talks to Dr. Justin Trosclair DC on A Doctor's Perspective Podcast.

Post knee surgery rehab now has a new machine to increase

range of  motion  (ROM) and strength in a matter of 3 weeks.

That leaves you with more functional rehab with a physical therapist. Learn

about the x10 knee therapy machine with PJ Ewing.

The X10 is a specialized knee rehab equipment co-developed by his dad and a coworker of the orthopedic surgeon who invented  knee replacement surgery.  The x10 machine is about the size of arecliner and goes usually into a patients home for 2-5 weeks.  It helps prepare the knee for surgery butusually is used to regain Range of Motion post knee replacement , patellafracture or ACL surgery as well as rebuild the strength.

He discusses how the computer and the knee apparatus can

sense the resistance in real time, pain and end range of motion, ROM, and then

adjust in real time to maximize where you are and then increase it all in pain

free motions. The company has coaches and doctors that oversee each treatment

and can tweak the program for each person each visit.

The machine can sense the resistance decrease and it has

been programmed to know that might be because of pain. So it holds it there for

10 seconds and alternates to flexion and extension  terminal end points.

Usually a patient is doing this pain free treatment 35

minutes a day, 3 times a day so it doesn’t take but a couple weeks to get your

range of motion (110-115 degrees) back (without having to have a MUA of knee

scar tissue) and so your physical therapy is now on walking and strength

instead of  regaining painful ROM.

Continuous Passive Motion Machine vs x10. Why is one shown

to do just about nothing but still being recommended like crazy.

X10 knee is covered by some insurance companies in Michigan

but they are working on expanding coverage in other states.

Does this tool / machine replace the Physical Therapist? If

not, how do they work together?

Remove the ROM component and utilize your PT visits for more

comprehensive and fine tuning of the knee rehab.

X10 is rapidly expanding with a new model this year and

learn why they lease instead of sell these machines and how they plan to

compete in other state market places.

They get plenty of calls everyday for people to do

telemedicine and medical vacations from other countries and states because of

the limited reach at the moment. They plan to change that in 2019.

As a startup company about to hit massive expansion, why is

growth a key factor to consider and be concerned about managing properly?

What type of videos have been far and away the most viewed

and impactful for x10?
