Beyond Subjective Pain: Objective Insights with AXIT Functional Screening

In the world of rehabilitation and performance enhancement, relying solely on subjective feedback can be limiting. While understanding how someone feels is crucial, objective measurements provide a deeper, more accurate picture of their physical capabilities. At Take Control Active Rehab, we're committed to providing comprehensive assessments that go beyond subjective pain reports. That's why we utilise the AXIT functional screening system—a cutting-edge technology that delivers objective insights into your strength, balance, and movement patterns.

The Limitations of Subjective Pain

Pain is a complex experience, influenced by various factors, including psychological and emotional states. While an individual's perception of pain is valid, it can be challenging to quantify and track progress based on feelings alone. Subjective assessments can be inconsistent and may not accurately reflect underlying functional deficiencies. This is where objective measurements become invaluable.

Introducing AXIT: Objective Functional Screening

The AXIT system is a powerful tool that allows us to move beyond subjective pain and gain objective insights into your physical capabilities. It uses advanced technology to measure performance variables such as strength, balance, and movement patterns with precision. This data-driven approach allows us to identify specific areas of weakness, imbalances, and movement dysfunctions that may be contributing to your discomfort or limiting your performance.

How AXIT Works

The AXIT system employs three key devices to capture real-time data:

1. Force Plates: These plates measure ground reaction forces, providing valuable information about your strength and balance during functional movements. By performing exercises like squats, lunges, and hops on the force plates, we can analyse your weight distribution, stability, and power output.

2. Force Gauges: These devices measure the peak force you can exert in pushing and pulling motions. This allows us to quantify your upper and lower body strength, providing objective data to track progress and identify areas for improvement.

The data collected by the AXIT system is displayed in real-time, allowing us to analyse your performance and identify any deficiencies or imbalances. This objective feedback empowers individuals to visualise their progress and understand the impact of their rehabilitation or training program.

Benefits of AXIT Functional Screening

• Objective Measurement: AXIT provides quantifiable data, eliminating the subjectivity of pain reports and allowing for accurate tracking of progress.

• Identification of Deficiencies: The system helps identify specific areas of weakness, imbalances, and movement dysfunctions that may be contributing to discomfort or limiting performance.

• Personalised Rehabilitation: By understanding your unique functional profile, we can develop tailored rehabilitation programs that address your specific needs and goals.

• Enhanced Performance: For athletes, AXIT provides valuable insights into performance metrics, allowing for targeted training to maximise potential.

• Progress Tracking: The objective data collected by AXIT allows you to visualise your progress over time, providing motivation and reinforcing the effectiveness of your rehabilitation or training program.

• Improved Outcomes: By addressing underlying functional deficiencies, AXIT can contribute to better long-term outcomes and a reduced risk of re-injury.

Who Can Benefit from AXIT?

The AXIT system is beneficial for a wide range of individuals, including:

• Those recovering from surgery or injury, seeking to regain strength and function.

• Individuals with chronic conditions, such as osteoarthritis, aiming to improve mobility and reduce pain.

• Athletes looking to enhance their performance and prevent injuries.

• Anyone seeking to improve their overall physical function and wellbeing.

At Take Control Active Rehab, we believe in empowering individuals to take control of their health and performance. By incorporating AXIT functional screening into our assessments, we provide a comprehensive, data-driven approach to rehabilitation and performance enhancement. We move beyond subjective pain to deliver objective insights, helping you achieve your goals and live your best life.
