Our Extremity Machine’s History

The HUMAC NORM derives from the Cybex NORM created by Lumex in 1995. Computer Sports Medicine Inc’s relationship with Cybex started in 1980 when founder, Rich Potash, designed the first computer software that Cybex paired with their machines to replace the chart recorder. By 2002, CSMi had acquired the rights to the entire Cybex isokinetic testing product line, and for the first time, the NORM machine and HUMAC software were produced by one company. The HUMAC NORM officially released in 2003. With such a stable and robust history you know you’re getting a quality product when you choose the HUMAC NORM extremity machine for testing and rehabilitation. Learn more about CSMi’s history.
