The FitAssess Assessment Report
After the completion of the FitAssess Assessment, the System competes the real-time calculation of areas of muscular instability, weakness and potential disorder. A number of reports are generated to help the practitioner identify limitations, muscular weaknesses or compensations in the upper and lower body as well the trunk and spine.
The complete report includes a detailed analysis of all the muscles and muscle interactions in the body, a neurological map of spinal regions that have stress levels associate with Limited Range-of-Motion tests, as well as a detailed listing of each muscle and muscle group that was “Limited” within a Range-of-Motion test.
The Personal Stability Index
The Personal Stability Index is a symmetrical balance score that assesses the body from head to toe based upon all the FitAssess Assessment identified muscular deficiencies. The score is utilized to track progress from one evaluation to the next with a simple glance.
The higher the score the higher the overall muscular balance and stability!
The Joint Instability Analysis
The Joint Instability Analysis Report is a blueprint to bodily compensations, weaknesses, and limitations that hamper fluid bodily movement and performance. When limitations are found, it highlights muscles and muscle groups that are imbalanced and stressed – pointing to areas that need strengthening and movement flexibility.
In this example, the right side, lower body has the greatest instability. The Lower-body, Right-Side Hip is 60% limited an the Knee is 63% limited.
There are also limitations or weaknesses on the Lower-body, Left Side with the Hip at 40% unstable and the Knee at 38%
The Neuro-Mapping Report
The FitAssess Neuro Mapping Report is an innovative technology that allows a greater insight into the stress loads that are placed along the spine by muscular limitations and movement restrictions.
The Report enables the identification of specific areas of possible abnormalities such as bulges, herniations and the like. Spinal abnormalities can place pressure on nerve roots causing disrupted neurological signals from muscles and muscle groups. The spine graph also acts as a warning system to movement instabilities.
For example, being able to identify a major or severe stress in the cervical spine could immediately lead to avoidance of daily activities that increase compression forces along the spine.
In this case Region 2 (C5-T2 of the Spine) is Moderately Severe while Region 5 exhibits Minor Severity and has the possibilities of a more severe action, if not corrected soon.
FitAssess Muscular Assessment Analysis
The FitAssess Bodily Assessment Analysis provides detailed analysis of the Range-of-Motion tests that elicited “Limited” muscular motion during the assessment. The analysis also provides a list of each muscle associated with each Limited Range of Motion.
The analysis is designed to provide in-depth insight into the actions of bodily muscles and their relationships to movements, potential limitations, as well as possible pain or injury.
The Cervial Spine Assessment Analysis lists each Cervical Range-of-Motion test associated with a “Limited” cervical muscle.
The cervical spine is the uppermost part of the vertebral column. It plays a crucial role in supporting the head and facilitating movement of the neck – allowing rotation, bending and tilting.
The Upper Body and Lower Body Assessment Analysis reports detail each ROM that featured a muscle or muscle group that were designated as “Limited”. The list itemizes those Limited ROM tests on the Left Side, Right Side, or both sides (Bilateral).
For example, the Humeral Abduction ROM test on both the Left Side and the Right Side showed muscular limitations, therefore it was also listed as Bilateral.
