Precision Strength Testing, Clinically Applied
Objective force plate, dynamometer, and goniometer assessments to guide your rehabilitation and track real progress.
AxIT Strength Testing is an advanced, evidence-based assessment system used by our accredited exercise physiologists at our Altona North, Victoria clinic. By capturing precise, quantifiable data on muscle strength, range of motion, and functional capacity, AxIT enables truly personalised clinical rehabilitation — for NDIS participants, DVA-funded clients, and anyone managing chronic pain, chronic disease, disability, or neurological conditions.
What Is AxIT Strength Testing?
AxIT is a clinically validated, technology-driven assessment system used by accredited exercise physiologists to quantify strength, power, and joint mobility with precision. Unlike subjective clinical observations, AxIT delivers objective, reproducible data — providing a clear, evidence-based foundation for rehabilitation planning and progress measurement.
At Fortify Movement & Health, our Altona North clinic uses the AxIT system as part of a comprehensive clinical assessment framework — ensuring that every rehabilitation programme is grounded in real data, not guesswork.
Force Plate
What It Measures
Ground reaction forces, load symmetry, jump height, power output, and single-leg weight-bearing capacity.
Clinical Relevance
Detects subtle asymmetries between limbs that subjective testing misses — critical for rehabilitation progression and return-to-function milestones.
Hand-Held Dynamometer
What It Measures
Maximal isometric muscle strength across major muscle groups — including hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, and grip.
Clinical Relevance
Provides objective, quantifiable strength data to benchmark against normative values and monitor change over time during a rehabilitation programme.
Goniometer
What It Measures
Joint range of motion (ROM) — the arc of movement available at a joint, measured in degrees.
Clinical Relevance
Identifies mobility deficits and tracks improvements throughout a programme, supporting evidence-based clinical decision-making for exercise prescription.
Together, these three instruments form an integrated clinical picture — allowing our accredited exercise physiologists to accurately identify impairments, set meaningful benchmarks, and prescribe targeted exercise interventions that are measurable, trackable, and evidentially sound.
Who Benefits from AxIT Testing?
AxIT strength and movement assessment is suited to a broad range of clinical presentations. If objective, reproducible data would improve your exercise prescription or rehabilitation outcomes, AxIT testing is relevant to your care.
Chronic Pain
Objective force and movement data helps establish a functional baseline and track measurable progress for clients managing persistent pain conditions.
Chronic Pain Support
Chronic Disease
AxIT assessment profiles support safe, evidence-informed exercise prescription for clients living with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, metabolic conditions, and more.
Chronic Disease Support
Disability & Neurological Conditions
Precise dynamometry and goniometry allow our exercise physiologists to detect subtle changes in function — critical for clients living with disability, neurological conditions, and those in the Neuro Motion program.
Neurological Conditions Support
NDIS Participants
AxIT testing provides the documented, reproducible outcome measures that support NDIS goal-setting and progress reporting — giving participants and support coordinators clear evidence of functional change.
NDIS Pathway
DVA-Funded Veterans
Veterans receiving exercise physiology services under DVA funding benefit from objective strength benchmarks that guide structured rehabilitation and recovery programs.
DVA PathwayPost-Surgical Rehabilitation
Force plate and dynamometer assessments give clinicians reliable data on limb symmetry and functional capacity — essential for safe return-to-activity decision-making after surgery.
Clinical ServicesAthletes & Active Adults
Identify strength imbalances, track training adaptations, and set evidence-based performance targets with quantitative force and range-of-motion profiling.
Exercise PhysiologyHealthy Ageing & Aged Care
Muscle strength testing and mobility assessment are foundational to falls-prevention and functional independence programs for older adults and those in aged care settings.
Who We SupportAxIT assessments are conducted by accredited exercise physiologists at our clinic in Altona North, Victoria. NDIS and DVA funding pathways are supported where exercise physiology services are included in your plan or referral.
