The InBody 270 is a medical-grade body composition analyzer that uses Direct Segmental Multi-frequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (DSM-BIA). Unlike bathroom scales that only show weight, InBody precisely measures skeletal muscle mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat, total body water, and basal metabolic rate — segmented by limb and trunk. It is the gold standard for portable, non-invasive body composition assessment.
Measures muscle mass independently in each arm, leg, and trunk — detecting asymmetries invisible to whole-body measurement. Critical after surgery or stroke.
Quantifies intra-abdominal fat linked to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome — something waist circumference cannot accurately measure.
Tracks true fat loss during weight management. A patient can gain muscle and lose fat while weight stays the same — body fat % reveals the real change.
Monitors hydration status and detects edema — critical for renal, cardiac, and post-surgical patients where fluid balance affects recovery.

After ACL reconstruction or joint replacement, the operated leg loses 15–25% of quadriceps mass within 2 weeks. InBody detects this atrophy immediately, guiding exercise progression.
Segmental Lean Analysis quantifies paretic limb muscle wasting, enabling targeted strengthening and tracking functional recovery objectively.
Early detection of age-related muscle loss enables preventive intervention before falls, fractures, and functional decline occur.
Tracks true fat loss and muscle preservation during diet and exercise programs — preventing the muscle loss that accompanies crash diets.
Athletes use InBody to optimize power-to-weight ratio, monitor off-season body composition, and detect overtraining through muscle mass trends.
Total Body Water measurement detects dehydration or fluid retention — essential for cardiac, renal, and lymphatic condition management.
Anyone seeking objective data about their body composition, muscle balance, or metabolic health benefits from InBody assessment.
Track muscle atrophy and recovery after orthopedic surgery. Objective data guides when to progress exercises and when to hold back.
Quantify paretic limb wasting after stroke or spinal cord injury. Segmental analysis detects asymmetries invisible to visual inspection.
Optimize body composition for performance. Track muscle gain, fat loss, and hydration status through training cycles.
Screen for sarcopenia and monitor muscle preservation. Early detection enables exercise and nutrition interventions that prevent frailty.
The InBody 270 sends safe, low-level electrical currents through the body via hand and foot electrodes. Because muscle contains high water content and conducts electricity well, while fat resists it, the device calculates tissue composition by measuring impedance across five body segments.
After ACL reconstruction, the operated leg typically loses 15–25% of quadriceps mass within 2 weeks. Standard scales show no change. The InBody 270's Segmental Lean Analysis detects this atrophy immediately, guiding exercise progression and return-to-sport decisions. For stroke patients, it quantifies paretic limb wasting. For elderly patients, it screens for sarcopenia — the muscle loss that predicts falls, frailty, and mortality.
Uses multiple frequencies to differentiate between intracellular and extracellular water, improving accuracy over single-frequency devices.
Measures muscle mass independently in each arm, leg, and trunk — detecting limb asymmetries invisible to whole-body measurement.
Quantifies dangerous intra-abdominal fat linked to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome.
More meaningful than BMI. Tracks true fat loss during weight management and fitness programs.
Monitors hydration status and detects edema — critical for renal, cardiac, and post-surgical patients.

“Weight is the least informative health metric I know. A patient can gain 3 kg of muscle and lose 3 kg of fat — the scale reads zero change. InBody tells the truth.”— Dr. Swapnagandhi, Human Movement Specialist, Physiotherapist

Precision body composition for rehabilitation and wellness
Detects limb asymmetries critical for post-surgical and neurological rehab.
Complete scan in 60 seconds. No radiation, no discomfort, no recovery time.
Early detection of age-related muscle loss enables preventive intervention.
BIA is very safe, but certain conditions affect accuracy or safety.
Implanted pacemaker or defibrillator (electrical current contraindication)
Pregnancy (safety precaution, though BIA current is very low)
Metal implants may slightly affect readings (inform technician)
Severe edema or ascites affects hydration accuracy
Fever or acute illness (wait for recovery)

How clinical-grade body composition analysis compares to conventional measurement methods
Scales show weight only — they cannot distinguish muscle from fat or detect limb asymmetries. InBody provides 20+ metrics including segmental muscle mass, visceral fat, and hydration status.
BMI classifies a muscular athlete as overweight and a frail elderly person as normal. InBody measures actual body fat percentage and muscle mass — providing clinically meaningful data.
Skinfold calipers are operator-dependent and only measure subcutaneous fat. InBody measures visceral fat, total body water, and segmental lean mass — metrics calipers cannot access.
