Biomechanical Assessment Sports

The sports assessment is designed for patients that train and participate in sporting activities a number of times a week, or for those patients that due to a more complicated gait or injury require a greater level of analysis. Due to the faster movements involved during sporting activity, video gait analysis has to be used in the clinical environment to enable the practitioner to slow down and see the movements present.

More information is required when creating a treatment plan for sports patients as muscle imbalances and weakness must first be corrected. When prescription devices are used they must be able to withstand the larger forces produced when running, jumping, lunging etc, they need to be an exact shape and provide a precise prescription to allow them to function perfectly and comfortably.
