Flexibility/Range of Motion
Claim:
Power Plate training can be a
beneficial tool/intervention to improve
flexibility and range of motion.
Definition:
Flexibility is the absolute
range of movement in a joint or series of
joints and muscles that is attainable in
a momentary effort involving a partner
or a piece of equipment. The flexibility
of a joint depends on many factors,
particularly the length and looseness
of the muscles and ligaments due to
normal human variation, and the shape
of the bones and cartilage that make up
the joint.
Pathology Studies

Plate might have a positive impact on
general fitness, muscle strength, daily life
performance and well being but does not
have a direct impact on the state of the
disease or injury. It will improve patient’s
life quality.
