Revolutionise Your Path to Recovery and Fitness
Our physiotherapists use AxIT’s hand-held dynamometers (Push-IT and Pull-IT) and portable force plates to quickly and accurately measure your strength, balance, and movement performance. This allows us to:
- Set initial baselines for your strength and performance
- Track improvement over time with precise measurements
- Identify any imbalances that might be holding you back
- Create a personalised plan to help you achieve your specific goals
- Compare your results against evidence-based benchmarks
What Is a Muscle Dynamometer?
Muscle dynamometers, like AxIT’s Push-IT and Pull-IT, are devices used to measure muscle strength. They provide valuable insights into muscle health and function by applying force and measuring the muscle’s response, typically through isometric testing.
Common Dynamometer Tests
We use two main methods for evaluating your muscle strength and endurance:
- “Make it” protocol: You exert maximum force for a short period against matching resistance.
- “Break it” protocol: You sustain a submaximal contraction as long as possible until the muscle fatigues.
Both protocols help us evaluate your muscle strength, power, and endurance accurately.
