Assessment Calculators

Assessment calculators tabulate outcomes based on standard assessment protocols and normative data. Summary reports with outcome measures, raw data, and charts are produced in Microsoft Excel. Calculators can be purchased individually or as part of the FCE Kit.

Exercise Modules

Exercise Modules are collections of high resolution 3D images of various exercises, functional activities and body postures. Images, along with their associated titles and instructions, are imported into an exercise template to create routines.

Exercise Prescription

Our flagship product, Xcalc, is an advanced exercise prescription tool that allows you to add progressions to your exercises based on user-defined parameters. Use with the Exercise Modules and Exercise Templates to create complete, customized, evidence-based routines.

**Note: The RehabCalcs Assessment and Exercise Prescription Software are a collection of Microsoft Excel Addins.**
