Step 1 of 6 Real Trainer Workflow

Meet your client

Every assessment starts here — a client who moves, who feels something wrong, but can't explain why. Your job is to find out. TBAfit gives you a system to see it objectively.

Step 2 of 6 Assessment Results

Assessment Dashboard

Scores populate joint by joint. Flagged joints are highlighted. Bilateral asymmetries over 15% are called out automatically — the kind of detail a trainer's eye misses, but the data doesn't.

Step 3 of 6 ATLAS Clinical Reasoning

What ATLAS sees

For each flagged joint, ATLAS generates clinical reasoning: the structures involved, why they're compensating, and what patterns are driving dysfunction. For clinicians — a second opinion backed by source texts. For trainers — the language to explain why to your client.

🦴
Hip Joint
Left 52 · Right 64 · 19% bilateral asymmetry flagged
58/100
Clinical Interpretation
Restricted hip flexion and internal rotation bilaterally, more pronounced on the left. Pattern is consistent with anterior hip capsule tightness combined with weak posterior hip musculature. The 19% L/R asymmetry indicates a dominant compensation strategy — the right hip is carrying load the left hip isn't tolerating. This asymmetry is a primary driver of the reported lower back tightness: the lumbar spine is extending to compensate for restricted hip flexion during squat depth.
Likely Contributing Structures
Psoas Major Iliacus TFL Glute Medius Iliofemoral Lig. Anterior Hip Capsule
Compensation Patterns
Anterior pelvic tilt Lumbar hyperextension Contralateral trunk lean Knee valgus collapse (L)
Source References
Peer-reviewed anatomical atlas literature Standard clinical anatomy references Established kinesiology and biomechanics literature
🦵
Ankle Joint
Bilateral restriction · Lowest score in assessment
44/100
Clinical Interpretation
Severely limited dorsiflexion range. At 44/100, this is the most restricted joint in the assessment and likely the proximal driver of the knee and hip findings. Restricted ankle dorsiflexion prevents the tibia from translating forward over the foot during squat descent — the kinetic chain compensates by collapsing the knee medially and increasing hip flexion demand, creating a cascade of dysfunction up the chain.
Likely Contributing Structures
Soleus Gastrocnemius Tibialis Anterior Peroneals ATFL CFL
Compensation Patterns
Early heel rise Knee valgus collapse Foot pronation/flattening Excessive forward lean

🦿
Knee Joint
Left 60 · Right 70 · 15% asymmetry flagged
65/100
Clinical Interpretation
Knee scores in the moderate-concern range, with patellofemoral tracking dysfunction most likely given the client's reported anterior knee discomfort during squats. The left knee scores 15% lower than the right, correlating with the left hip asymmetry above — inadequate hip stabilization is creating increased valgus stress at the left knee. This is a downstream consequence of the ankle and hip restrictions, not a primary knee pathology.
Likely Contributing Structures
VMO (Vastus Medialis) Rectus Femoris Biceps Femoris Patellar Tendon Medial Retinaculum
Compensation Patterns
Patellofemoral tracking dysfunction Medial knee collapse (L) Quadriceps dominance

Step 4 of 6 Program Generation

ATLAS builds your client's program

Assessment data flows directly into the programming engine. Corrective work isn't assigned separately — it's woven into the training session Alex is already doing.

ATLAS is building Alex M.'s program…
ATLAS is analyzing findings — Hip 58, Ankle 44, Knee 65
ATLAS is building corrective protocol for flagged joints
ATLAS is integrating corrective work into training program
ATLAS is generating clinical rationale for each movement
Step 5 of 6 Training Blueprint

A complete training day

This is what Alex's trainer hands them on Day 1. Corrective movements are inside the session — not a separate handout, not "PT homework." Woven in. That's the difference.

🔒 Day 2 Full program in trial
🔒 Day 3 Full program in trial
Warm-Up Activation & Corrective Prep
5–8 min
Hip 90/90 Mobilization ATLAS
Focus on left side — address hip flexion deficit
2×60s/side
Target Hip joint — anterior capsule, psoas, iliacus, glute medius
Reasoning Hip flexion scored 52/100 on the left with a 19% L/R asymmetry. The 90/90 position addresses anterior hip capsule restriction and left-side hip internal rotation deficit identified in assessment. Unilateral loading isolates the weaker side to reduce compensation from the right hip.

Established kinesiology and biomechanics literature
Ankle Dorsiflexion Wall Drill ATLAS
Bilateral — emphasize range end of motion
2×12/side
Target Ankle — soleus, gastrocnemius, posterior talar joint capsule
Reasoning Ankle scored 44/100 — the most restricted joint in this assessment and likely the proximal driver of knee and hip dysfunction. Improved dorsiflexion range reduces early heel rise and knee valgus collapse during squatting movements in this session.

Thoracic Spine Rotation (Open Book) ATLAS
Side-lying — emphasize end-range thoracic rotation
2×8/side 60s rest
Target Thoracic spine — costovertebral joints, thoracic erectors, anterior chest
Reasoning Thoracic scored 71/100 — borderline. Restricted thoracic rotation contributes to lumbar compensation during loaded movements. Placed between Strength A and B as active recovery: the side-lying position deloads the spine between compound sets while addressing thoracic stiffness identified in the assessment. This doubles as active rest.

Glute Bridge (Single Leg) ATLAS
Left-side priority — address glute medius weakness driving hip asymmetry
2×10/side 60s rest
Target Glute medius, glute maximus, posterior hip musculature
Reasoning Hip flexion scored 52/100 on the left with a 23% L/R asymmetry in glute medius activation (estimated from bilateral score differential). Weak posterior hip musculature forces the lumbar spine to extend as compensation during loaded squat patterns. Single-leg bridge isolates left-side deficit before Strength B loading.

Step 6 of 6 Client Communication

Communicate with confidence

ATLAS reasoning doesn't stay in the platform. It becomes the language you use with your client — clinical backing, plain words.

Client Summary — Alex M.
Session 1 of 12 · Apr 20, 2026
Ready to share
Based on your assessment today, we found limited hip mobility — especially on your left side — and restricted ankle range of motion. These two findings are linked to the lower back tightness and knee discomfort you've been experiencing during squats. Your program includes targeted corrective work integrated directly into your training sessions.
🦴
Hip (left side) — Your hip scored below average, with your left side scoring noticeably lower than your right (19% difference). We've added specific hip mobilization exercises early in your warm-up to address this directly.
🦵
Ankle mobility — Limited ankle range is likely driving most of the knee and hip compensation patterns. When your ankle can't fully flex, your body compensates by collapsing the knee and overloading the hip. The ankle drills in your warm-up and cooldown target this specifically.
🧘
Thoracic spine — Mild restriction in thoracic rotation. We've placed a brief rotation drill between your strength blocks so you get the mobility work without adding extra time to your session.
For PTs & Clinicians
ATLAS reasoning behind each corrective selection is fully accessible — structures involved, compensation patterns identified, and source citations. Use it as clinical decision support when explaining protocols to patients, justifying referral decisions, or continuing education. Every recommendation is traceable to a reference text.
