InBody570 Body Composition Analysis Guide

The InBody570 measures body composition through bioimpedance analysis. It sends an imperceptible electrical signal through the body which is analyzed by electrodes on the foot plates and handles. This provides data on body composition, cellular hydration, visceral and segmental fat, and lean muscle development to track changes over time. The multi-step process requires clients to remove metal items, stand barefoot on the foot plates while holding the handles during a 45 second analysis. Key findings are printed and can identify issues like high body fat, weight, visceral fat or muscular imbalances.

InBody570

What is it?
The InBody570 is a tool to measure body composition, lean segmental development, cellular
hydration, visceral and segmental fat. This is accomplished through bioimpedance which sends
a imperceptible electrical signal through the body which is than analyzed by the electrodes that
the client is standing on and holding.

Why do we do it?
To collect data to track body composition (beyond subcutaneous), cellular hydration and
visceral fat (inflammation indicators), and lean segmental development (muscular imbalances).

What does it mean to the client?


Baseline data to track body composition changes, and important health/wellness biomarkers
(Visceral Fat/Cellular Hydration). It will also inform potential movement limitations through lean
segmental development.

SOP
(***Note: This SOP is specifically written for the InBody570. The SOP will differ for the
InBody520 and InBody770.***)

1. Check to see if printer attached to InBody570 is stocked with InBody570 Results Sheets.
Make sure that the Results Sheets are placed into the printer paper tray facing up so you
can read them.

2. Have 2 InBody Tissues prepared for client. If you do not have InBody Tissues, have
antibacterial wipes available.

3. Cue client to remove shoes, socks, and any metal jewelry that is
easy to remove (i.e. watches, necklaces, bracelets, etc.) that can interfere
with the bioimpedance.

4. Cue client to wipe hands and bottoms of feet with InBody Tissue
as you wipe the Foot and Hand Sensors. Have trash receptacle ready for
refuse.

5. Cue client to step onto InBody570 footplate


with heels placed on rear Foot Electrode and
balls/toes of foot on front Foot Electrode. (As
pictured in first image.) InBody570 will now weigh
client.
6. Screen will now change. Press on “Input ID” on Touchscreen Display. Press on “Text”
button on Keypad to pull up On-Screen Keyboard. Use On-Screen Keyboard to input
client first initial and last name (i.e. Aaron Rodgers - arodgers). Press “Enter”. Press on
“Height” field and enter Height using Keypad. Repeat for “Age” field, and press on
client’s gender. Press “Enter” on
the screen.

7. InBody will now give verbal


instructions to hold Hand
Electrodes, keep arms straight and
not touching the sides of the body.
Cue client to keep eyes up and to
maintain tall posture. InBody 570
will take approximately 45 seconds
to complete and will verbally
indicate when it is completed.
Results Sheet will print on own.
Examples of Key Findings

● Body Fat - ​24.5% is outside of healthy norms (10-20%)


● Weight/BMI - ​232lbs/28.3BMI outside of healthy norms
● Segmental Lean Analysis​ ​- ​Right leg 27.49lbs vs. Left Leg 26.76lbs
● Body Water (ECW/TBW) - ​0.389 close to exceeding Norm
● Visceral Fat - ​Level of 12 vs norm of <10 shows excessive levels of Visceral Fat
