Recovery
measurements

gif

Initial phase:
steady rise with measurements

Insights:

01

Steady rise on recovery for the start period

02

Ability to test patient progress with detailed test reports for better treatment decisions.

A Measured Approach takes the guesswork out of decision making

Recovery Phase:
The Progress hits a plateau

Insights:

01

Consistent testing detects that a patient has hit a plateau

02

Fact based recommendations for training exercises to support further progress

Informed decisions minimize the risk of errors

Outcome:
injured muscle rehabilitated

Insights:

01

Accurate measurements negate the risk of a decision that might lead to overtraining the muscle

03

Scientifically reevaluate exercise routines based on accurate measurements and recommend exercises, ensuring Faster Recovery Times

Checknow

Initial phase:
steady rise

Insights:

01

Steady rise on recovery for the
start period

02

Since progress is not measured and there is no tangible way to gauge improvement, the doctor has to rely on the patient’s visible progress to make exercise decisions

Manual testing means a start in recovery, but it is not quantifiable!

Recovery phase:
the progress hits a plateau

Insights:

01

The patient is not satisfied due to the lack of any visible improvement over a period of time

02

No quantifiable progress gauge

03

In the absence of accurate measurements, the lack of data increases the risk of making an uninformed decision

What happens if training intensity is increased for results?

Recovery Phase:
The Progress hits a plateau

Insights:

01

While initial progress is evident, the lack of quantifiable evidence to support it poses a serious risk of worsening recovery if exercises are intensified

02

Excessive training may cause strain, reverse progress, and aggravate the injury. All of which can significantly delay recovery

MYTHS

FACTS

Manual muscle testing is a standardize test.

Manual muscle testing is a subjective, non standardised test.

All muscles recover at the same rate.

Muscle recovery is highly individual and muscle groups regain strength at different paces. Regular dynamometer testing ensures personalized and effective rehab plans.

Pain is the best indicator of weakness

People can have significant muscle weakness without pain. Objective strength testing helps identify hidden deficits before they lead to injury or dysfunction.

You only need to test once.

Strength can change over time due to injury, training, aging, or inactivity. Routine dynamometer testing helps monitor progress and guide ongoing treatment or training.

A "5" in MMT means the muscle is at full functional capacity.

A grade of 5 only means full strength against manual resistance, not necessarily the maximum force the muscle can generate.
