What's Your Move-IQ?

Move-IQ is TBAfit's AI-powered movement assessment. It scores 10 joint groups bilaterally on a 0–100 scale, exposing the asymmetries and compensations that limit performance and increase injury risk.

01 — What It Measures

Movement Quality, Not Just Performance

Most fitness tests measure how fast you run, how much you lift, or how long you last. Move-IQ measures something more fundamental: how well your joints move. Restricted range of motion, left-right asymmetry, and compensatory patterns are the earliest warning signs of injury risk — often invisible to standard assessments.

Move-IQ captures these patterns in under 20 minutes. No equipment. No gym. Just the TBAfit app, on-screen movement instructions, and a standardized scoring framework.

02 — The 10 Joint Groups

Major Joints, Mobility From Every Angle

Move-IQ scores every major joint bilaterally — a separate score for your left and right side — because asymmetry between sides is one of the earliest signals of an underlying problem. What follows are the 10 joint groups assessed.

Cervical Spine

Neck flexion, extension, rotation, lateral flexion ranges

Shoulder

Flexion, extension, abduction, internal/external rotation

Thoracic Spine

Upper back rotation, extension, lateral flexion

Lumbar Spine

Lower back flexion, extension, rotation stability

Hip

Flexion, extension, abduction, internal/external rotation

Knee

Flexion, extension, valgus/varus alignment under load

Ankle

Dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, inversion, eversion

03 — Scoring System

0–100. Per Joint. Per Side.

Each joint group gets a bilateral score between 0 and 100. The score reflects movement quality — range of motion completeness, movement control, and symmetry — not athletic performance.

Score RangeZoneWhat It Means
80–100StrongFull range with good control. No immediate action needed.
60–79MonitorMinor restriction or mild asymmetry. Targeted exercises recommended.
40–59Focus AreaNotable restriction or compensation. Priority for program design.
0–39CriticalSignificant limitation. Likely contributing to pain or dysfunction.
04 — Why Bilateral Scoring

Your Left Isn't Your Right

Research consistently shows that bilateral asymmetry — one side measurably different from the other — is one of the strongest predictors of future injury. A left hip that scores 20 points lower than your right hip isn't just a flexibility issue. It's a warning signal.

Move-IQ captures these differences explicitly. ATLAS uses bilateral scores to identify which side is the driver of a problem versus which side is compensating. That distinction changes which exercises you prescribe and in what order.
