The Averages Section

The Averages section of the Report offers a summarized snapshot of the data, presenting the average values from all repetitions completed. This allows you to analyze all of the metrics captured during the Activity. This section is divided into two parts.

On the left side of the page, you'll find the averages that don't belong to a location table on the right side, such as Squat Depth, Jump Height, Stance Width Distance, and Stance Width Ratio.

On the right side of the page, the metrics are placed into one of four tables, based on their corresponding locations.

• Spine
• Trunk
• Arms
• Legs

Some measurements are accompanied by a letter to indicate the direction of the degree listed. 

• F = Forward
• B = Backward
• L = Left
• R = Right
• I = Internal
• E = External

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Symmetry is Key.

Is the User's range of motion for the right side of the body align with the left side?

In the example above, we can see the User's form was not symmetrical during the squats. The flexion of the right knee and left knee differ by 6°. The angle of the right and left ankle differ by 3°. Pelvic Drop, though not broken out for the left and right sides, by definition, it is the alignment of the hips horizontally. Labeled 3° L, this means the left hip was slightly lower than the right. 

Knee Flexion is indicative of the depth of the squat. A higher degree means the knees bent more into a deeper position. 

Knee Varus means the knees were angled outward - away from each other. If this was displayed as Valgus, this would indicate the knees were angled inward - towards each other. 

Pelvic Drop can influence knee flexion during a squat by altering the alignment, weight distribution, and mechanics of the lower body. 

Trunk Lean can affect knee and ankle flexion by disrupting the distribution of forces as the center of mass leans forward or backward.

Within Target Range.

Is the User's average metric values within target range?

Each row within the tables on the right side have a Target Range value. If the average value of that row is within the target range, then the border of that value will be green. However, if the average value is not within the target range, then the border will be red. The total number of times the user was out of target range will display to the right of the table.

In the example above, we can see that the target range for Trunk Lean is that the value has to be less than 20°. Given that the User's Trunk Lean was 41° F, we know that they are out of target range, so the border will display red. For Pelvic Drop, we can see that the User was within target range, since they achieved 3° L of Pelvic Drop, and the target range has to be less than 5°.

Review the Symmetry section to view certain metric asymmetries for each squat repetition. 

The Symmetry Section

Symmetry in human movement is when both sides of our body move in a balanced and coordinated way. It is important because it helps us move efficiently and effectively. When we have good symmetry, we can perform tasks with less effort and reduce the risk of injury. Symmetry also allows us to have better control and coordination over our movements. Symmetry in human movement is crucial for our overall physical performance and well-being.

The Symmetry section breaks down movement patterns with directional differences for key metrics in the Arm and Leg locations. Each metric is represented by a clickable card on the left side of the Symmetry section. After clicking a metric card, it will display of the directional data recorded for that metric on the right side of the Symmetry section.

The table on the right side lists all the reps performed during the activity, with the Left and Right metric value listed for each. The average value for each column is listed in the last row of the table.

In the example above, the User's average Ankle Dorsiflexion on the left side was 24° and 21° on the right side. Given this, the difference is 3°. The 3° of difference indicates a moderate asymmetry. As the image illustrates, the User had a moderate asymmetry for reps two through five, which led to the average having a moderate asymmetry.

Now that we've identified a moderate asymmetry in Ankle Dorsiflexion, let's review the Reps section to view metrics for each squat repetition.

The Reps Section

The Reps section provides objective data for each repetition performed in the Activity. It serves as a valuable tool for identifying patterns of consistency or inconsistency or outliers across the reps. 

The Table view lists each rep across the page with the measurements obtained.

The Graph view allows the changes between reps to be visualized in a chart. Each rep is listed on the x-axis along the bottom and the data point is plotted based on the y-axis, the selected metric. Click each metric on the left to view its analysis.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Consistency is Key.

Pay close attention to the amount of variance from rep to rep and identify if there is any standout outlier.

By closely examining the graph or table view, you can easily visualize and understand the patterns and trends that emerge. Look for any significant deviations or inconsistencies that may indicate areas of improvement or potential issues.

In the image provided above, we can clearly observe some inconsistencies in Right Knee Flexion. It is important to address these variations and understand the underlying factors that may have contributed to them.

The Max Variance Section

The Max Variance section of the report provides the metric values for each rep and provides the variance from the lowest metric value to the highest. Max Variance allows us to see if we are consistently keeping each metric within the same range, and shows us a particular rep where we might have had an issue.

The Max Variance section displays every metric that was tracked during the activity by displaying a clickable card on the left side of the report.

The table on the right side lists all the reps performed during the activity, with the metric value listed for each. The variance value for each column is listed in the last row of the table.

In the example above, the User's Ankle Dorsiflexion variance on the left side was 6° and 8° on the right side. Given this, the User can see that they had a slightly higher variance with their right ankle compared to their left.

The Progress Section

The Progress section of the Report provides a view of the User's performance over time for each specific Step selected on the left. This section allows you to track the progression or degradation in Key Metrics, providing valuable insights into the User's improvement or challenges over time.

The Progress section has subtabs for all of the metrics tracked during the activity on the left side of the screen. Within each subtab we are able to see the progression or degradation based on the first and last test listed in the List tab table.

On the List tab, the data is listed for each date the User previously performed the Activity, based on the date option selected at the top of the Progress tab.

For some metrics, like Right Ankle Dorsiflexion, each row will either have a red or green border. The color indicates whether it is within the target range, which is listed in the bottom left hand corner of the table. Green indicates the user is within the target range for this metric, and red indicates the user is out of target range. In the image above, we can see that the user was within the target range on 3/11/2024 with 33°, so the border shows a green border. On 5/2/2024, we can see that the user was not within the target range with 8°, so the border shows a red border.

On the Graph tab, the data points are charted on a graph to observe progression or degradation over time. 

When the circle on the graph is filled, this indicates that the test was completed, while an unfilled circle indicates partial completion.

This is a great way to show a User their progress as well as to clearly illustrate where deficiencies exist and/or where they have room for greater improvement.
