Force Plate and Dynamometer Testing

What is AxIT?

AxIT is a valuable tool used by the physiotherapists and exercise clinicians to make objective and accurate measures of strength and performance.

The system comprises of three different pieces of equipment, allowing for a wide variety of tests on any part of the body. These can range from tests for muscle strength and power, to jump or hop tests, to assessing body symmetry through movement (such as push ups or squats). The system includes:

• 2 Stomp-ITs (force plates)

• A Pull-IT

• A Push-IT

The AxIT system is an easy way to gain a baseline measure of where you, as the patient, are at initially, track your progression over time and identify meaningful discrepancies throughout the process that could be contributing to your injury or pain. This allows your physio to:

• Develop tailored and targeted exercise programs to achieve the best possible outcomes from rehab

• Set clear, meaningful and measurable goals for you

• Use the data to assist in making clinical decisions regarding return to activity

The equipment connects to a tablet via Bluetooth, allowing you and your physio to see data being collected in real time. The results are immediately calculated to compare left to right in force produced, the rate of force production and total force output.
