Kinvent Session: What It Is and How to Use It

What Is a Kinvent Session?

 

A Kinvent Session is a structured process designed to guide you through a patient’s rehabilitation journey using the Kinvent App and connected devices. It follows a clear cycle of assessment, goal-setting, training, and reassessment to optimize recovery and track progress.

 

Kinvent Session Cycle

The Cycle of a Kinvent Session:

 

  1. Test: Start by assessing your patient’s current condition with a specific protocol.
  2. Set/Reset Goals: Define key rehabilitation or performance goals for improvement based on the assessment.
  3. Set Program: Create and assign a tailored training program to develop the targeted qualities.
  4. Complete the Program: Follow the training program through to completion, then retest the patient to measure progress.
  5. Retest: Perform a reassessment to evaluate the patient’s improvement and adjust the rehabilitation plan as needed.

How to Use a Kinvent Session

 

Step 1: Add a Pathology

 

  • If your patient’s pathology is available on the list, click the shortcut to select it.
  • For additional or other pathologies, click “+ Other” and use the body chart to specify the condition.

Step 2: Visualize the Rehabilitation Journey

 

For specific pathologies such as ACL tear, rotator cuff tendinopathy, lateral ankle sprain, total knee replacement, or neck pain, the Kinvent App offers tailored testing protocols.

If your patient’s pathology isn’t currently supported, you can request a protocol.

Step 3: Perform the First Testing Protocol

 

The Kinvent session begins with a recommended testing protocol based on the selected pathology:

  1. Choose the Kinvent device(s) you want to use.
  2. Start the testing protocol by following the on-screen instructions.
  3. You can skip certain tests by selecting "View List" and choosing specific assessments.
  4. Once completed, results are automatically compiled into a summarized report.

Step 4: Create a Training Program

 

After the assessment, create a rehabilitation or training program using the collected data:

  1. Click on "Create Training Session".
  2. Set the desired training duration.
  3. The app suggests an optimal plan with the right number of sessions and exercises based on results.
  4. You can adjust exercises, configurations, or intensity as needed.

Step 6: Conduct the Second Testing Protocol

 

After completing the program, reassess your patient by repeating the initial testing protocol to evaluate their progress.

 

Step 7: Adapt the Rehabilitation Plan

 

Based on the reassessment results, you can adapt the rehabilitation plan to match the patient’s evolving needs and continue their improvement journey.
