Research:
Biomechanics
Understanding the complexity of our musculoskeletal system has been one of the focus in our careers. We believe that the knowledge that biomechanical analysis provides to the scientific and sports community is vital. Therefore, we have introduced the study of human biomechanics in our research and daily clinical practice. By doing so, we believe we can improve patients quality of life and enhance sports performance.
Motion analysis
Motion analysis provides a detailed screening about how the human body moves. This technological tool has been used in research over the last decades, and now we can use in our clinical practice it to better understand your body. Being it used to analyse your condition, to evaluate your post-operative rehabilitation status, or to improve your sports performance, it may provide us further insight to help keeping moving.
Isometric strength analysis
The isometric strength evaluation aims to identify muscular imbalances that can lead to an injury, re-injury or interfere the performance in sports. It gives us a quantitive assessment of parameters such as muscle force.
This testing of the knee joint helps analysing muscle imbalances between hamstrings and quadriceps. Since these muscle groups are of utmost importance in executing lower limb actions and stabilising the joint, characterising them will provide us guidance during rehabilitation, therefore getting you back to sports in a safer way.
