What is the purpose of Functional Assessment Muscle Testing?
It allows the medical practitioner to Provide Medical Documentation of the necessity for a particular course of treatment as well as providing Outcome Assessment. The primary objective is to examine, test and isolate musculoskeletal injuries which result in measurable functional impairment and reduced range of motion, and to implement a program of rehabilitation designed to restore the patients level of function to pre-injury status or maximum medical improvement. The following report (provided by Functional Diagnostix Inc.) is a clinically objective functional analysis of specific muscles which have been tested for Peak Force Strength, Endurance, and Power. Initial test results provide a baseline study which quantifies soft tissue injury and functional impairment by comparing left and right Peak Force Strength, Endurance, and Power deficits. These test results will also be used to design a specific program for rehabilitation which will isolate and rehabilitate the injured muscle(s) or
