THE AXIT SYSTEM (Assess It) IS A Mobility ASSESSMENT TOOL USED BY PIVOTAL MOTION PHYSIOTHERAPY TO GIVE GUIDELINE ON HOW OUR PATIENTS ARE PERFORMING.
Pivotal Motion Physiotherapy is delighted to announce that we have recently acquired the AXiT system from the Strength by Numbers team. This hallmark, revolutionary system allows us to perform a complete performance assessment on almost any muscle and joint in the body.
The mobility assessment tool metrics include, but are not limited to, maximum strength, maximum power and stability.
This also allows us to assess the ability of a patient to perform functional movements, including squats, lunges, jumping and push ups (to name a few).
With real time feedback, our innovative mobile assessment tool allows us to provide tips and information on exercise modification to ensure the best results and technique.
Furthermore, the real time feedback allows us to both track progress of your conditions both in-session and between sessions.
Ideally, our physiotherapist will measure your function at the beginning of your rehabilitation process, giving a baseline measure to compare with subsequent mobility testing assessments.
This helps determine the level and degree of recovery. Mobility testing is not strictly limited to rehabilitation, however.
During a training program, athlete’s often use baseline measures to determine the degree of improvement, and adjust their training parameters accordingly based on the results. The AXiT system allows for both of these aforementioned scenarios to occur, and as such, can be used to great effect in all populations!
