Force Plate Analysis

Service Description

Lower Body Essentials uses laboratory grade force plates to give you an objective evaluation of your lower body force/power production. Assessments that are included in the Lower Body Essentials... 1) Squat Analysis 2) Counter Movement Jump (CMJ) 3) Single leg Counter Movement Jumps (SLCMJ) 4) Squat Jump (SJ) 5) Drop Jump (DJ) 6) 10/5 Repetitive Jumps Test (RJ) 7) Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull (IMTP) Key Outcomes: 1) Hip range of motion asymmetries between right and left legs. 2) Center of pressure and weight distribution during eccentric and concentric phases of a squat. 3) Jump height and power output during CMJ. 4) Dynamic strength index, the ration between peak force during CMJ and IMTP, which reveals an ability to utilize max force capacity efficiently during dynamic movements. Add-ons: 1) Force plates/Dynamometers: - Single leg (SL) variations (Rear foot elevated squat, SL box squat, SL SJ, SL DJ) - Athletic Shoulder Test (I's, Y's, T's) - Push-ups - Shoulder IR/ER strength protocol - Elbow strength protocol. 2) Digital Goniometer =Hip IR/ER - Hip Ab/Adduction - Ankle Dorsiflexion 3) Surface electromyography - Knee protocol (Squat (Quads)/knee extension (Quads)/knee flexion (Hamstring)) - Squat analysis (Quadriceps) - Shoulder (Deltoid).
