Biomechanical ServicesBiomechanical testing provides information about neuromuscular function and maximal power output. By analyzing your movement and the forces acting on your joints, the staff identifies your risk of injury and develops training protocols that increase muscle power, symmetry and coordination, and foster efficient movement techniques that reduce injury potential.
|  |
Accelerometry - $210Through the use of devices called accelerometers that measure acceleration and gravity-induced reaction force, our staff can determine the acceleration and deceleration of the entire human body, a part of the body or a piece of equipment during movement or during the performance of a sport skill.
|  |
Aerodynamics - $765Our aerodynamic testing is accomplished using the Kirsten Wind Tunnel in the University of Washington Aeronautical Laboratory (technical information about the facility can be found on the official
|  |
Electromyography (EMG) - $285Electromyography measures the electrical activity of muscle contraction and nerve conduction through sensors placed on the body over the designated muscles. Data from these sensors enable the staff to diagnose neurological and neuromuscular problems and to analyze the function and coordination of muscles in different movements during daily, sport or vocational activities.
|  |
Force Generation Trial - $210By performing motions on a force platform or load cell, our staff is able to measure applied forces generated by the movements. Forces are measured in three planes: vertical (up-down), anteroposterior (front-back), and lateral (side-to-side).
|  |
Pedography - $125By using a paper-thin sensor placed inside the shoe, pedography allows our staff to record a map of pressure distributed across the foot that presents important data to posture, gait and movement.
|  |
Reaction TimePerformers receive stimuli from the eyes (position of other players or the ball), the ears (calling from players), and kinesthetic sense (their own body position). Skilled performers reduce choice reaction time by selecting the most important information, an ability tested by use of reactions to light board information.
|  |
2-D Analysis - $250Using a 2-D video camera and specialized editing software, our staff films you from several different angles while you are performing a designated skill/movement and reviews your movements from head to toe, looking for abnormalities that are creating problems or are caused by a problem. Our staff then creates an illustrated and annotated video that outlines modifications that can help you reduce pain and improve the performance.
|  |
3-D Analysis - $345A computerized six-camera system is used to analyze mechanics in three dimensions. By placing reflective markers on the joints, the cameras provide the computer with the data to set up a 3-D model of any movement or sport performance. This data gives to our staff precise information about loads on joints, tendons, and ligaments, angular velocity of each movement, and the sequence and magnitude of muscle contraction.
|  |
3-D Bike Fit - $490By placing reflective markers on the joints, the cameras provide the data to set up a 3-D model, which replicates the rider and the rider's biomechanics. This data gives to our staff precise information that enables them to make finite but critical adjustments. Not only does this system provide our staff with data that standard bike fitters can't see, it allows them to make "real-time" changes and instantly see how those changes affect the riders efficiency and positioning.
|  |
3-D Gait Analysis - $490We offer a gait analysis that helps analyze, diagnose and document aberrant running or walking gait patterns with tools that compare the specified gait with optimal performance gaits, or before and after treatment of a gait-hampering injury. Our gait analysis is done using 3-D motion capture combined with force, pressure, acceleration and muscle activation technologies.
|  |
3-D Golf Swing Analysis - $490If your goal is to hit every shot consistently while adding distance, you need to take a different approach. Not a more complicated approach. Not a more time-consuming approach. A more golf-specific approach. At POTENTRx™, we provide this golf-specific approach by studying the connection between your body and your swing mechanics through our 3-D Golf Swing Analysis.
|  |
3-D Pitching Analysis - $490Similar to the 3-D hitting analysis, our pitching analysis ensures that throwing mechanics create optimum ball speed and minimal impact on the shoulder joint and rotator cuff. By adding muscle sensors, we can determine if the rate and/or order they fire is inefficient and may lead to an injury. |  |
Health & DiagnosticDiagnostic tests help our health and performance staffs establish a diagnosis in symptomatic clients, screen for disease in asymptomatic clients, provide prognostic information in clients, monitor interventions or confirm that a client is free from a disease.
|  |
Blood Panels - $130Blood test can offer many clues about systemic health. Similarly, blood test results for several enzymes can provide evidence of heart, liver and muscle damage due to overtraining and excessive fatigue, powerful factors in limiting effective sport performance.
|  |
Cellular Health (Bioimpedance) - $30Bioimpedence computes intercellular and intracellular water content of your body. In conjunction with physiological testing, these data enable the staff to devise exercise or training prescriptions that enable you to better manage heat stress, fluid balance, intracellular mechanisms, motor functions, and plasticity of muscle fibers, critical elements for high level performers, preventing overtraining or training with chronic disease.
|  |
EchocardiogramAn echocardiogram uses sound waves to take pictures of your heart that can be seen on a monitor and recorded. This test is performed to evaluate the valves and chambers of the heart in a noninvasive way to diagnose, evaluate, and monitor heart murmurs, abnormal heart valves, infection in the sac around the heart or around the heart valves, blood clots, and conditions such as congenital heart disease, atrial fibrillation, and pulmonary hypertension.
|  |
Electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG) - $40An electrocardiogram measures the electrical activity of the heart to determine if the time intervals are normal or slow, fast or irregular and, in so doing, checks for abnormalitites.
|  |
Electron Beam Tomography (EBT)Using high-speed imaging coupled with sophisticated computerized 3-D imaging EBT (electron beam tomography) captures focused, detailed pictures of the inside of your heart. The most significant finding of an EBT exam is the amount of calcified plaque in the arteries that supply blood to your heart muscle.
|  |
Pulmonary Function (Spirometry) - $60Spirometry is the most basic and frequently performed test of pulmonary (lung) function. A device called a spirometer is used to measure how much air the lungs can hold and how well the respiratory system is able to move air into and out of the lungs.
|  |
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) - $80Resting metabolic rate (RMR) refers to the number of calories the body needs to support its basic physiological functions and biochemical reactions required to keep alive. RMR is generally 60-75% of the total daily caloric expenditure for the day and knowing RMR is important for weight management and nutritional planning.
|  |
X-raysX-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that pass through the body creating an image that is recorded in which structures that are dense such as bone will block most of the x-ray particles and will appear white while muscle, fat, and fluid will appear as shades of gray providing visual information for internal conditions.
|  |
Musculoskeletal ServicesMusculoskeletal function is concerned with bones, joints and muscles. POTENTRx™ physical therapists and certified athletic trainers conduct appropriate tests to assess and ensure your musculoskeletal integrity.
|  |
Agility and Coordination - $20Agility and coordination are interrelated and are, therefore, tested in tandem. Agility is the ability to change your body’s position efficiently, and it requires the integration of isolated movement skills using a combination of balance, coordination, speed, and reaction time.
|  |
AnthropometricsAnthropometrics is the comparative study of human body measurements. Changes in lifestyles and nutrition lead to changes in the distribution of body dimensions. Regular updating of these data plays an important role in optimizing body development and selecting sport clothing.
|  |
BalanceBalance is fundamental for human movement because the ability to maintain and reposition the center of gravity over your base of support is critical for successful movement and reduction of injury, particularly as you age. Our staff assesses both static (balance while not moving) and dynamic (balance while moving) components of balance through a series of activities that require precision and coordination of the musculoskeletal system.
|  |
Body Composition - $40Body composition provides an accurate measure of fat and lean mass, both of which are vital aspects of health, sport performance and critical information for weight management. The National Institutes of Health provides recommendations about the percentage of fat and lean mass that healthy adults should contain.
|  |
Flexibility (Range of Motion) - $30Using several flexibility tests, manual muscle palpitation, and goniometers to quantify the degrees of movement, the staff assesses the functional capacity of the major joints at the shoulder, elbow, pelvis, hip, and knee. Testing these joints uncovers problem areas where tight muscles and/or impaired movement could contribute to poor performance or injury.
|  |
Muscular Fitness - $70Using computer monitored strength straining equipment, staff can determine a 1RM for each exercise, assess muscle strength imbalances and proportionality, compute maximal power and decay of maximal power (fatigue profile) and thus determine the precise number of repetitions that can be performed without significant fatigue to the desired metabolic system.
|  |
Musculoskeletal Integrity - $195The examination, conducted by a physical therapist, includes 64 passive and dynamic observations, palpitations or measurements of bones, joints, cartilage and muscles to ensure functional integrity of the body in all planes of motion.
|  |
Stability (Core and Shoulder)Our staff places the body in several unbalanced position to assess the strength and coordination of the core muscles, spine position and pelvic tilt and examines the integrity of the shoulder joint through a scripted set of upper body activities and through manual muscle palpitation.
|  |
Physiological ServicesExercise physiology is the science of how the human body responds to exercise and how specific training alters the structure and function of the human body. POTENTRX exercise physiology staff conducts tests to assess your current health and fitness level, improve training design, and monitor your training progress in order to effectively and efficiently increase muscle strength and power, improve endurance and foster economy.
|  |
Aerobic Capacity (VO2) - $105Defines the size of your aerobic engine and demonstrates the ability of the respiratory system to take in oxygen, the ability of the cardiovascular system to transport oxygen, and the ability of the muscular system to utilize oxygen. This test includes heart rate training zones, a lactate threshold analysis, 30 minute consultation to explain the test results, and an ekg to check for any underlying heart conditions.
|  |
Anaerobic Power - $30Anaerobic power determines an individual’s ability to work and exert energy over a short, fixed amount of time, which is predictive of explosive athletic performance such as in sprints, cycling hill climbs, soccer counter attacks and other sudden but short high-intensity demands. In general, the staff uses the Wingate Test to determine anaerobic power and fatigue.
|  |
Exercise Stress Test - $215An exercise stress test shows how your heart works when you are physically active. While you are exercising on either a treadmill or a stationary bike, an electrocardiogram records your heart electrical activity, allowing your doctor to see changes in your heart rate.
|  |
Lactate Profile - $125Lactate is measured using a Lactate Pro device to analyze blood taken from a finger prick similar to managing blood sugar in diabetic patients. Thresholds are determined during an extended period of exercise from trends presented by multiple samples until the level of lactate acid in the blood stream accumulates ceases to increase.
|  |
Training Telemetry - $175Allows for up to 48 participants' heart rates to be displayed in real-time with customizable, color-coded zone indicators. It dramatically boosts the effectiveness and enjoyment of training by informative and motivating training intensity visualization and performance feedback reporting.
