Movement dysfunction and biomechanical
assessment is the most
Underestimated Aspect of Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation
Interventions focus commonly on symptoms, whereas
accurate evaluation to address the origin of problems is often
neglected. Within this context the clinical
laboratory can provide data and information that is scientifically
correct, yet practical in managing a patient’s progress, as well as
integrating the processes and feedback of rehabilitation and high
profile conditioning.
It is the aim of this laboratory to
provide objective clinical data with definite outcomes in line with the
rehabilitation process and the effective treatment of pathological
conditions. Optimal pre- and post-operative testing can also be done
here.
The Clinical Laboratory Specialises
In The Following Services:
Gait Analysis
Video material is used to assist the evaluation of movement dynamics
like walking correctly.
Through effective rehabilitation, any particular
movement dysfunction or problem can be addressed.
Running Style Analysis
This video-based form of assessment breaks the running process down into
individual segments in order to identify potential risk factors or to
help treat any running injuries of running related dysfunctions.
Force Plate Measurement
Through force plate measurements, the weight bearing at a stance may be
determined to obtain quantitative data regarding the relative amount of
force placed on each limb while standing or jumping. A computerized
system objectively evaluates the weight bearing on injured or
rehabilitated limbs which provide data used in progress reporting.
Clinical Orthopaedic Evaluation
This form of clinical evaluation investigates musculoskeletal problems, muscle imbalances and movement impaired syndromes.
Injury Prevention Screening and Rehabilitation Screening
Athletes are pro-actively screened and evaluated to identify potential
injuries, while final testing protocols provide accurate information to
medical practitioners about an athlete's ability "to return to play".
