In the development of medical devices since 1904

Modern patient and customer-oriented equipment

The founding of TUR is an important milestone in our quest toward the establishment of the complete customer support service stipulated in our corporate philosophy.

We use theIsokinetic system "ISOFORCE" in our Applied Human Movement Sciences working group since 2013 for clinical and scientific research questions.
Among other things, a scientific publication was recently published from our working group on the subject "Reliability of muscle strength and hamstrings to quadriceps strength imbalance ratios during concentric, isometric and eccentric maximal voluntary contractions using the isoforce dynamometer" in the prestigious Journal of Sports Medicine. In addition, we use successfully the system for clinical applications in the context of rehabilitation. Operation of the ISOFORCE system is easy to learn and clearly structured.
