Why Have These Tests Been Specifically Selected For The AMI Assessment?

 The AMI and The Tests

The AMI module uses wearable sensor technology to create objective, actionable data and identify potential movement faults in patients. The AMI measures core stability, bilateral symmetry, single leg mechanics, and ankle dorsiflexion through a mandatory set of seven research-based tests: 

  • Plank test 
  • Side plank test (left/right)
  • Full squat test 
  • Single leg squat 
  • Single leg hop
  • Single leg hop plant 
  • Ankle lunge test
But "why have these tests been specifically selected for the AMI assessment?" Time and time again, our dorsaVi sales team has been asked this question by countless interested customers. 

To answer this question concisely, watch this quick five minute clip of Dr Trent Nessler, PT, MPT, DPT, and co-founder of the AMI, as he gives a detailed explanation as to how these seven tests came about, why they were selected and the importance of each when examining athletes well being.
