What the terms mean.
Plain definitions of the terms used on this site.
- BIA
- Bioelectrical impedance analysis. A small electrical current is passed through the body and the impedance it meets is used to estimate body composition.
- Multi-frequency BIA
- BIA that uses more than one frequency. The Visbody M60 and T55 use 4 frequencies (5/50/250/500 kHz).
- Segmental analysis
- Reading the arms, legs and trunk separately, instead of one value for the whole body.
- Electrode
- A contact point that carries the current and picks up the signal. Visbody M50, M60 and T55 use 8 electrodes.
- Body composition
- How the body divides into fat, muscle, water, protein and minerals.
- Circumference
- A measurement around a body part, such as the waist or hips. Visbody takes them automatically from the 3D model.
- 3D posture analysis
- Optical 3D capture used to look at alignment, for example head position, shoulder height and pelvic tilt.


- 3D body model
- A digital model of the scanned body that lets you compare scans side by side.
- FMS
- Functional movement screening: a set of movement patterns used to look at how a person moves and where compensations show up.
- AI FMS
- FMS on the Visbody T55, where AI scores the movement captured on the floor mats.
- Turntable
- The platform that rotates the client during the scan. The M60 turntable has a Ø 600 mm diameter.
- WellnessHub
- Visbody's AI platform for reading reports, tracking progress and building training and nutrition plans.
- Dialanta
- Software that turns scan results into follow-up tasks for each member.
- Lease
- A monthly payment plan. Visbody leases are based on 60 months, subject to financing approval, excl. VAT.


- BDA
- A second measurement method that Visbody combines with BIA in a fusion algorithm for body composition on the M50 and M60.
- Posture deviation
- How far a body landmark, such as head, shoulder or pelvis, sits from an ideal alignment.
- 10-point 3D posture
- The Visbody M60 posture analysis, which looks at ten posture points in 3D.
- 3D body prediction
- A forecast of how the body shape may change, shown on the Visbody M60 to help clients picture a goal.
- 3D body-shape comparison
- Placing several scans side by side in 3D. The Visbody M60 compares up to 8 measurements.
- AI Body Simulation
- On the Visbody T55, the Visbody AI Body World Model simulates potential changes, risks and training outcomes.
- Physical fitness assessment
- A set of tests on the Visbody T55 for strength, balance, flexibility, reaction and endurance.


- Shoulder and neck mobility
- An assessment of how far the shoulders and neck can move, available on the Visbody M50, M60 and T55.
- Range of motion
- The distance a joint can move in a given direction.
- Depth vision sensor
- A sensor that records distance as well as colour, which lets the device rebuild the body in 3D.
- Floor mat
- The mat used for movement screening. The Visbody M60 floor mat is 1830 × 680 mm.
