Functional Testing of Tensiometric Platform Athletes (Force Plate)
1. WHAT DOES TESTING ON TENSIOMETRY PLATFORMS IMPLY?
Tensiometric platform testing includes a series of functional tests using force platform technology to assess weight distribution, force production and power. This examination includes assessment of landing mechanics, overall balance and basic movement patterns, such as squats and jumps.
By providing accurate real-time data, this test allows our physiotherapists to offer you personalized recommendations that can both reduce your risk of injury and improve your performance.
2. WHY IS TESTING ON TENSIOMETRY PLATFORMS IMPORTANT IN REHABILITATION?
Testing on tensiometric platforms is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels, and ideal for anyone looking for a highly informed, tailored approach to their exercise regime.
Test results provide valuable information designed to promote recovery and help you improve overall physical function and quality of life.
Some of the key benefits of testing on tensiometric platforms are:
– INJURY PREVENTION
Testing can identify potential imbalances or weaknesses that may increase the risk of injury, allowing for targeted intervention to reduce those problems.
– EARLY INTERVENTION
Identifying any biomechanical deficiencies allows for timely corrective action, helping to prevent minor problems from developing into more serious injuries or limitations.
– PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT
By analyzing your patterns of force production and absorption, testing can reveal areas to improve movement efficiency and enhance your athletic performance.
– PERSONALIZED THERAPIES
A comprehensive assessment using tensiometric platforms provides a detailed understanding of your abilities, enabling the development of customized training programs and rehabilitation plans to suit your specific needs.
– CONTINUOUS MONITORING
Regular check-ups can track changes in your movement patterns and force production over time, allowing for adjustments to your program to maintain optimal performance and reduce the risk of injury.
3. WHAT DOES TESTING ON TENSIOMETRY PLATFORMS LOOK LIKE?
The assessment on tensiometric platforms is divided into three parts:
1. Introduction – Your physical therapist will go through a set of questions designed to better understand your goals and any previous injuries or obstacles that may be relevant.
2. Testing – Functional testing on force measurement platforms where the practitioner will identify two key metrics to consider.
3. Results – After the session you will receive a detailed report, which will include personalized recommendations based on your results.
