dorsaVi Athletic Movement Index (AMI)

The AMI and Tactical Athletes In April 2021, Memphis firefighters performed their first Rebound Vitality Safe Movement Assessment, powered by our dorsaVi wearable sensor technology, on 50 firefighters over two days.  As tactical athletes, firefighters are required to maintain a high level of fitness: aerobic endurance as well as muscular strength, endurance, and flexibility. Our dorsaVi technology is the perfect way to assess their movement quality.  The firefighters were fitted with dorsaVi's wearable sensor technology (this can be seen being attached in the image to the right). They were then required to complete a series of tests, designed to challenge and assess their legs and core and safely measure their strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination (pictures of this can be seen down below).  At the end of this assessment, the clinicians used the actionable data drawn from the AMI and tailored individual programs for the athletes, prescribing corrective exercises...

Force Plates v. The AMI When discussing the Athletic Movement Index (AMI) with potential clients, our sales team is often asked the question: “Should I get a Force Plate, or should I get the AMI?”. Our customers regularly make the mistake that these two products can offer them the same thing.  In actuality, these two products hold two very different purposes . When we consider the Force Plate, its purpose is to capture force data. This they do very well, as such they have been used successfully in research for a long time. However, the main challenge clinicians will face with a Force Plate is: what to do with the data? Clinicians know that when their client’s Force Plate data is off, that something is wrong with their mechanics. But they do not know what. Or rather, the Force Plate does not tell them what or where the system is breaking down. This is where the AMI and Force Plate differ significantly.  The AMI consists of wearable sensor technology that has been designed to gi...
