The first stretching modality that actually generates roster-grade data — bilateral, longitudinal, exportable.
Heads of performance are asked every week to keep players available. They have peak velocity from GPS, force plates for jump testing, HRV from straps, and barbell velocity from VBT. They have no objective measurement of soft-tissue extensibility, asymmetry, or stretch tolerance. Modulor is a force-controlled cable-driven stretching apparatus that closes that gap and produces a per-session quantitative record exportable to your existing AMS.

manual goniometry inter-rater error
peer-reviewed clinical reliability studies
Strain rates have increased over two decades despite advances in S&C. The standard workflow — manual goniometer + therapist palpation + paper notes — is the same it was in 1985. Compensatory motion (pelvic rotation, contralateral flexion) is judged by eye and routinely missed. Bilateral asymmetry — the single best documented hamstring re-injury predictor — is rarely measured at all.
What Modulor Is
- Cable-driven, motor-controlled stretching platform
- Inline load cell, 100 Hz force feedback
- Depth camera + skeletal tracking, joint angle ±2°
- Real-time compensation detection — force yields automatically when athlete recruits secondary segments
- 7 stretch patterns on one platform
- Five-layer independent safety cascade (software cap, PID compliance, slip clutch, hardwired E-stop, manual quick-release)
- Per-session record: ROM at reference force, end-range stiffness, L/R asymmetry, compensation index, session-over-session trend
- Composite injury-risk score per athlete
- RFID badge-in — athlete touches, machine retrieves history
- Bilateral baseline + assisted stretch + report in <8 minutes
- API export to Smartabase, Kitman Labs, Catapult Vector
- USPTO Provisional Application 64/040,028 filed April 15, 2026 on the closed-loop compensation method — patent pending
Where It Fits in Your Daily Workflow
Pre-practice: 5-min bilateral mobility check on flagged players before they touch the field. Recovery: assisted stretch with prescribed force after high-load sessions. Return-to-play: objective re-baselining vs. pre-injury record. The athlete operates the unit themselves after the first guided session — this is not a service that requires a human in the loop.
What a 6-Week Pilot Looks Like
| Week | Activity | Output |
|---|
| 0 | Install + staff training (half day) | Unit live in your facility |
| 1–2 | Bilateral baseline of full roster | Asymmetry map, top-N risk list |
| 3–5 | Athletes self-serve daily, flagged players prescribed | Daily delta, intervention triggers |
| 6 | Review session with your medical/perf team | Report: who improved, who didn't, ROI estimate |
WHAT I'M ASKING: 30 minutes of your time on a call to walk you through the protocol and the data model. If you see what I see, I'd like to put a unit in your facility for a 6-week no-cost pilot — you keep the data, no obligation to purchase. Your read on whether this clears the bar for an NFL/college performance staff is worth more to me right now than the pilot itself.
