The Movement Lab is CSSM’s biomechanical analysis studio equipped with the latest equipment designed to take our understanding of how you move to a new level.
Within our studio we break down your movements by utilizing high speed cameras operating at great than 240 frames per second. This highly detailed footage coupled with video analysis software provides the perfect platform for understanding how you move and how we can make you better at it.
In the clinic, the study of biomechanics is important when determining what causes injuries and how we can prevent them re-occurring. Identifying these movement or posture related issues allows better management, reduced recovery time and dramatically reduces the risk of recurrence. On the sporting field, biomechanical studies help us perform better, run faster, kick further or jump higher with greater efficiency and reduced risk of injury. Be it a runner, cyclist, rower or golfer looking to improve their performance, re-training the pattern of movements in many cases can improve sporting technique, rectify posture-related or movement-related problems, and reduce the risk of injury.
The benefit of video analysis is that human eye cannot observe, tabulate and interpret all of the complex movements of the human body. It provides the ability to freeze movements and review, allowing us to identify complex compensatory movements from the underlying cause of injury or poor performance. It is only when the cause of the problem has been identified and treated, that such compensatory actions can be resolved and a patient can return to pre-injury activity levels.
Our Biomechanical Analysis program is an in depth assessment of your movement patterns, looking at all the elements that may affect the way you walk, run and play. Assessments are usually performed in the clinical setting, however we can modify this where the clinic setting is not appropriate. The assessment includes an initial data collection appointment followed by a second appointment for discussion of the results.
The First consultation includes. :
At your second consultation you will receive:
It is important to note that Biomechanics and Video Analysis is a process of pre-testing, intervention and post- testing. Meaning that video analysis works best when the athlete makes use of video analysis over time. During you initial review our team will make multiple suggestions of how best to change your movements and technique. However the success of these changes can only be assessed and comparisons made over time as the athlete adapts to these changes. This is why re-assessment becomes a vital part of the chain.
Persons of any age and ability can benefit from a Biomechanical Analysis. We assess all individuals and all sports from the weekend warrior to elite levels. In particular video assessment is useful if:
Our Biomechanical screening programs can generally be performed by any of our team. Practitioners expertise varies depending on what sport or activity. We recommend that you call the clinic to discuss your needs.
