The Axit is a state-of-the-art technology system that measures the force and power production of an individual.
This technology allows our team to assess and measure our clients’ recovery, as well as identify any potential deficit, which may cause further injury. Through this assessment, we are able to then determine a rehabilitation pathway to safely return our clients to their pre injury status and the sports they love.
The system is complete with three components consisting of the Stomp-IT force plates, Push-IT handheld strength tool and the Pull-IT tension strength device. With the data collected from these three systems into one simple tablet, the Progressive team can design a personalised rehabilitation program to target those weak areas. The data collected from the software can include visual movement force curve, peak force, comparable peak force overtime, rate of force development and more from all three devices.
Axit Push-IT
The Axit Push-IT is the quick and convenient handheld device that gathers force data on a client. Due to its size, it’s able to measure and assess a range of isolated joints and muscles in all areas of the body. This device can collect accurate strength data on parts of the body that are not commonly assessed by technology such as elbow flexion, wrist and thumb strength, hip strength, knee extension, ankle strength and more.
The Progressive team can accurately measure a client’s progress over time from the data collected by the Axit Push-IT.
Axit Pull-IT
The Axit Pull-IT device measures the strength force of an individual. The Axit Pull-IT comes with a range of attachments to connect to equipment such as the cable machine. This allows the team to measure and assess a range of movements such as the isometric neck, hip, foot and shoulder strength as well as knee and elbow extension strength. The Axit Pull-IT device can reliably measure the isometric, concentric or eccentric force on a range of movements and muscle groups effectively in the body.
Axit Stomp-IT
The Axit Stomp-IT assesses the force capability of your body and collects data to measure any movement imbalances and deficiencies in over 40 different movements. These movement assessments can include squats, lunges, jump variations, push-ups and more all within one system.
Further to this, the Axit Stomp-IT allows the Progressive team to measure any pressure differences between the left and right sides of the body. With the data collected, the team can identify any weaknesses or areas to target more effectively in the client’s recovery journey.
The Axit system is available for a range of clients regardless of their sport or injury. Due to this, the Axit can measure all the movements that you can imagine across a range of different sports or injuries. At Progressive, we use high-end technology and equipment to rehabilitate our clients and return them to the sport they love, sooner.
