The HUMAC NORM is your solution for improving and evaluating human performance in clinics, training centers and research laboratories. In a single machine, the HUMAC NORM features 22 movement models for isolated joints, four resistance modes (isokinetic, isotonic, isometric and passive) and numerous reports in order to meet the needs of today's clinicians and researchers.
Measurement Only testing can determine guidelines, goals and changes. The HUMAC NORM offers two primary measurement solutions.
Isometric Test:
When dynamic movement is a concern, isometric testing is the answer.
The HUMAC NORM will securely position the patient at every angle of the protocol.
Protocol options include angles, work times, rest times, reps, and sets.
Isokinetic Test:
To determine the maximum dynamic capacity during range of motion the isokinetic test is the solution.
The HUMAC NORM tests concentric and eccentric resistance.
Isokinetic curve results make it easy to determine areas of pain or weakness and define capacity.
Exercise performed to improve mobility, stability, strength and control. The HUMAC NORM offers four resistance modes and numerous feedback options to achieve these goals.
Passive Mode: Develop the mobility that the patient demands, from linear motion models to complex PNF models.
Isometric Mode: Stabilize the joint to perform strength training at specific angles.
Isokinetic mode: Continuous strengthening using proven methods allowing return to function including concentric and eccentric loads and deceleration training.
Isotonic Mode: Complete return-to-function training using our isotonic mass simulated mode.
Software
HUMAC Software was designed with one goal in mind – to allow the user to go from patient data to the report at hand as quickly as possible.
Time is a commodity in all settings.
This is the reason for choosing the Windows XP system for the HUMAC Software.
It is immediately recognizable by all users, allowing you to learn and operate the HUMAC NORM quickly.
Intuitive Steps to perform a test or exercise just select a patient, movement model, protocol and get ready to start the session.
The next time the patient is on the HUMAC NORM the process will be even faster.
Select Quick Test or Quick Ex to go directly from patient selection to session.
HUMAC automatically assumes the test or exercise protocol used in the last session.
Customize Your Preferences The Preferences settings in HUMAC give you the flexibility to customize the software to your specific needs. Preference Options include Feedback, Data Analysis and Reporting.
Your Software will never become obsolete CSMI continues to develop the HUMAC Software.
And we make sure that HUMAC Software is always compatible even with old equipment. From the first CYBEX II to the latest HUMAC NORM, your investment will never go out of date.

Manufacturing
HUMAC NORM Systems are manufactured just outside Boston in Stoughton, Massachusetts, USA. The HUMAC NORM consists of four component groups – metal fabrication, computer, electronics, and software. The manufacturing process is performed under our ISO9001 Certification Process.
Metal fabrication (cut, weld, and paint) is performed by a nearby specialty custom fabrication facility. Computers are supplied by DELL Computers, the world leader in small computer systems. Custom circuit boards are designed in-house and manufactured by a nearby fabrication house. Lastly our HUMAC Software is developed and produced in-house.
The HUMAC NORM components are gathered at our corporate facility for final assembly, testing, and packaging. We ship HUMACs worldwide, with customers throughout the US, Great Britain, and elsewhere.
