How to Find the Mobility Test

From your Home Dashboard:

Tap the menu icon on the top right corner >Tap 'Mobility Test' >Tap 'Take a Mobility Test"

Who has access to it?

The software is available exclusively on iOS devices with A12 chips or later.

This includes: iPhone XS, iPhone 11, iPhone SE (2nd & 3rd gen), iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14 and up.


How does it work?

The test examines the entire kinetic chain rather than focusing on specific joints or ranges of motion (ROM), such as the hamstrings. It assesses how the body moves as a whole. The results identify any dysfunctions in specific movement patterns, so instead of attributing tight hamstrings as the issue, the results indicate movement dysfunctions in the hip, ankle, or other primary joints. Tight hamstrings (for example) may be a symptom, but not the underlying cause. The grayed out joints (elbows and knees) are considered secondary joints because they provide stability rather than mobility.


What do the Scores mean?

By giving yourself a mobility assessment you will know which areas of the body are lacking function. Once you assess and test your mobility you will be able to directly target and improve your weaker joint complexes.

The joint scores are NOT based on range of motion. They are mapped through dysfunction scores, ie knee valgus as a dysfunction would be mapped to the ankles, knee, hips, etc.

Areas you score low in, are areas you want to focus to improve on.


When is it coming to Android?

We don't have an ETA at the moment, it's a complex feature that requires significant processing and camera technology that Android doesn't have the capabilities for just yet. Android also currently does not support accurate skeletal tracking.
We'll be working hard to offer it to Android once those capabilities become available!


Can I Delete Mobility Tests?

At the moment you can not delete previous mobility tests (images nor scores) and neither can we. Mobility test images are stored locally on the user's device and not uploaded to our servers.
