What is force plate and dynamometry testing?
Regardless of whether you are a Physio, Chiro, Osteo or Exercise Physiologist, all clients require strength, yet physical testing has often been difficult in a care setting. AxITs hand-held dynamometers and portable force plates quickly puts a number on your strength, balance and movement performance. With dynamometry you’re able to test client’s strength and performance to identify imbalances or compare your client’s results to evidence-based references to set baselines and track progress over time in your management plan.
