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".
