Kineo Intelligent Load allows you to perform different isokinetic tests, both concentric and eccentric, to test the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle, and back as any other isokinetic machine. With Kineo it’s possible to perform a complete and precise assessment of the patient/athlete within few minutes and it provides you with line graphs and numeric parameters to evaluate your clients.
KINEO though is NOT a classic Isokinetic machine, but it features many other training methods and test (for more details see the training methods and tests sections)
With Kineo Intelligent Load, depending on the working station selected, you can perform several isokinetic tests: concentric and eccentric evaluations, concentric-eccentric ratio and test one limb (right or left) at a time for an interlimb comparison to assess any asymmetry. Kineo is not a classic Isokinetic machine though.
The first comparisons between Kineo and other isokinetic machines have held positive outcomes. Moreover, we are constantly working in conjunction with different universities to continuously assess validity and reliability of the Kineo System during isokinetic tests.
Kineo Intelligent Load is not an isoinertial machine, in fact it is much more. With Kineo you can select the load in the different phases (concentric and eccentric), but you don’t have the dangerous spike in the phase change (cause of many injures), which instead is very common with the isoinertial machines. With Kineo it’s possible to select among seven different training methods and several tests, while with the isoinertial machine it’s possible to train only in isoinertial modality.
No, Kineo Intelligent Load is an electric engine powered machine and not a compressor power machine. There are several advantages deriving from using an electric engine. To name just a few: extremely precise strength, power and speed selection; maximum quiet and smooth when in use, so no compressor noise.
Kineo Multistation model has the following stations: leg extension, squat, pulley, leg curl. Kineo Pulley&Squat model has the following stations: pulley, squat and leg curl. As optional accessories it’s possible to add at any time to both models: the jump platform (which enables the use of squat up to 400kg), the lat-machine kit, the leg-press kit (up to 400kg Max). Kineo Leg Press model is instead specific for leg training, but it’s possible to simulate also a rowing training.
With Kineo Intelligent Load, one user at the time can work on the machine. Kineo System allows the trainer to create a profile for each user to collect data from both training and testing sessions and save them on each user’s profile.
Kineo Intelligent Load allows you to work out each and every part of your body: upper body muscles, lower body muscles and trunk (core) muscles.

Kineo Intelligent Load has been created to work in different settings: from the elderly population to professional athletes, from rehabilitation to high performance training. In fact, Kineo System allows you to plan and customize specific training sessions for your clients based on the physical conditions and goals. With a wide variety of tests (Dynamic, Isometric and Isokinetic tests), it’s possible to fully and precisely assess a patient/athlete in a matter of few minutes. With seven different training methods (Isotonic WIT, Isotonic NIT, Elastic, Viscous, Isometric, Isokinetic and VLC Variload curve, Kineo System offers you multiple options according to the person you are working with.
Kineo Intelligent Load with its seven training methods in one machine allows you to tailor specific training sessions according to each one of your clients in terms of:
- concentric and eccentric differentiated loads
- ramp values (how quick the load increases or decreases)
- specific loads at specific angles across the Range of Motion (ROM)
- number of repetitions and sets
- speed, power and strength feedbacks
Kineo System provides you the opportunity for a complete evaluation for training and rehab, automatically saving every session and giving real-time feedback to achieve your goals.
Kineo Intelligent load is unique because the Viscous training method allows you to carry out rehab exercises without pain. The viscous resistance (e.g. water) increases or decreases depending on the speed of the execution.
Moreover, with a wide range of dynamic, isometric, and isokinetic tests, physios and S&C coaches can assess the static and dynamic strength conditions for evaluation purposes after an injury or to monitor one’s fitness. Each testing session makes possible to identify the optimal therapeutic path to control patient’s progress until complete, functional recovery.
