Strength measurement - We monitor your therapy success

Measuring strength in physiotherapy: a key to targeted and effective treatment

Significance of force measurement

Force measurement is a indispensable component of physiotherapy. It enables a precise and objective assessment of muscle strength in various areas such as the legs, arms, back and neck. By accurately determining your muscle strength, we can target your individual needs and maximize the effectiveness of our treatments. This precise analysis helps us to track progress and create targeted treatment plans tailored to your specific needs.

Methods and devices for force measurement

In our practice, we use state-of-the-art strength measurement equipment. These advanced measuring devices allow us to check the strength of almost 40 different muscle groups. In addition to the devices that measure maximum and isometric strength, we also use the Kinvent Physio app, which gives us real-time feedback and records and analyzes the data in a simple way. A typical example is a device that precisely measures leg strength in order to identify weaknesses following injuries or operations.

Another example is measuring devices to record arm strength, which help us to identify muscular imbalances and develop targeted strengthening programs. For the back muscles, we use special devices that measure the strength and stability of the back muscles. It is also possible to measure neck strength, which is particularly helpful for chronic neck complaints or after whiplash injuries.

Advantages of force measurement

The advantages of force measurement are manifold and go beyond pure data acquisition:

• Precise and objective measurements: Our measuring devices provide precise data on muscle strength. This makes it possible to reliably track your progress and evaluate the effectiveness of treatments or training programs.

• Regular follow-up: We take measurements every 4-6 weeks to continuously monitor your progress. This regular check-up clearly shows your progress and motivates you to continue your training.

• Individual training plans: The data collected enables us to create personal training plans that are tailored precisely to your needs and goals. This allows us to target your weaknesses and improve your training.

• Early detection of imbalances: By measuring the strength of different muscle groups, we can identify imbalances or weaknesses that increase the risk of injury or reduce performance.

• Lightweight and easy to use: Our measuring devices are lightweight and easy to transport. They can be used both in the office and in the field. Operation is intuitive and uncomplicated.

• Quick and easy tests: The measurements are quick and easy to perform. This allows us to carry out many tests in a short space of time without disrupting your everyday life too much.

• Motivation through visible success: The visible progress achieved through regular strength measurement motivates our patients. The documented progress helps you to achieve your goals and gives you a clear direction for your therapy.

Procedure of a force measurement

The process of a strength measurement with us is simple and uncomplicated:

1. Preparation: First, we will explain the procedure to you and make sure that you feel comfortable. It is important that you relax and inform us of any complaints so that we can carry out the measurement in the best possible way.
2. Measurement: We place the measuring devices on the muscle groups to be tested and carry out the measurements. This only takes a few minutes and requires no pain or awkward movements.
3. Evaluation: The results are immediately displayed on the Kinvent Physio app and analyzed by us. This real-time data enables us to make immediate adjustments and repeat the measurement if necessary.
4. Discussion: We discuss the results with you and consider how the individual treatment plan can be optimally adapted. This discussion gives you a clear insight into your current condition and helps us to tailor the treatment plan precisely to you.

Areas of application and patient groups

Force measurement is particularly useful for

• Rehabilitation after injuries or operations: It helps us to monitor progress and adjust the therapy in a targeted manner. In this way, we can ensure that you continuously improve and recognize any setbacks at an early stage.

• Chronic pain: By precisely analyzing muscle strength, we can target weaknesses and develop a suitable treatment. This is particularly helpful for patients with long-term complaints caused by muscular imbalances or weaknesses.

• athletes: To improve performance and prevent injuries. Athletes can benefit from targeted strength measurement to optimize their training results and ensure they stay in top shape.

• Neurological patients: For the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as stroke or Parkinson's disease. Strength measurement helps us to assess the specific requirements of this patient group and create individual treatment plans tailored to their particular needs.
