Test Exercise Technique

To ensure accurate data each time you test with RPM², it is important that you perform the exercises using proper technique. Additionally, it is important that you perform the exercises the same way each time you test.

Exercise Tips

• Prime your inserts first. Place the inserts into your shoes and perform a few simple exercises, such as normal stretching routines, walking, or calisthenics. This allows for “priming” of the pressure sensors and should only take a few minutes
  
• It is best, but not necessary, to perform all range of motion and pressure exercises as a group
  
• Exercise begins when the feet icon on top of the app turn red (Android) or yellow (iOS)
  
• Always start in the neutral position (non-moving position) for 5 seconds
  
• Hold times (movement position) are always 5 seconds
  
• Maximum of 20 repetitions per limb is a complete set
  
• You can complete all repetitions on one limb, then the move to the other limb, or you can alternate limbs with each repetition.
  
• Both limbs must perform exercises for accurate bilateral data
  
• Ankle should always be in a 90° (right angle). Do not point toes
  
• When appropriate, knee should remain locked in a straight position
  
• Use of mirrors to observe proper technique is recommended
  
• View proper exercise technique on the app by clicking Video (Android ) or ? (iOS)
