Still guessing your way through rehab?
Most clinics base their treatment plans on what they see. But when it comes to performance rehab, observation isn’t enough — you need objective testing to make confident decisions, reduce reinjury risk, and return stronger than before.
At Scottsdale Physical Therapy & Performance, we use advanced tools and evidence-based testing protocols to drive every phase of rehab. Here’s how that gives you a serious edge.
Why Objective Testing Matters in Rehab
Your body doesn’t guess — and your rehab plan shouldn’t either.
Objective testing allows us to:
- Detect hidden strength deficits
- Track true recovery over time
- Know when you’re ready to push… or pull back
- Provide proof-of-progress to coaches, surgeons, and patients
Gone are the days of “how does it feel?” — we bring numbers to the table.
The Tools We Use (and Why They Matter)
Force Plate Testing
- Used for: vertical jump testing, asymmetry detection, and reactive strength index
- Why it matters: Helps identify lingering deficits in explosiveness, landing control, and load tolerance — crucial for safe return to sport.
Handheld Dynamometry
- Used for: measuring isolated joint strength (quad, hamstring, rotator cuff, etc.)
- Why it matters: Compares left vs. right limb objectively, ensuring you’re not compensating or underpowered.
Range of Motion Profiling
- Used for: tracking joint mobility across rehab
- Why it matters: Passive and active ROM data helps guide loading decisions, especially post-surgical or in complex mobility cases.
Reactive and Rebound Testing
- Used for: hop tests, single-leg rebound, and deceleration mechanics
- Why it matters: Tells us whether your tendons, fascia, and neuromuscular system are ready for sport-speed movement.
Smarter Testing = Faster Progress
Because we can quantify your progress, we’re able to:
- Dial in your rehab progression (not too slow, not too fast)
- Adjust volume or intensity based on fatigue patterns
- Give you data-backed clearance to return to your sport or activity
This not only improves outcomes — it builds patient confidence, provider credibility, and long-term resilience.
