Functional Biomechanics

- engineering insight to analytics (see disclaimer) -

In short, functional biomechanical analysis provide information about functional capability of a body such as:

Range of Motion
Muscle Strength
Force Production
Neuromuscular Control and/or Fatigue, etc.

- unlike diagnostic systems that provide information about body structure such as:

Magnetic Resonance
Computer Tomography
Roentgen
or Ultrasound

Any human movement research has been and will always be motivated with specific research targets. The beginnings of biomechanical analysis that are performed today are related to the gait analysis as an elementary form of cyclic-human-movements. Emphasis on cyclic caracter of movement is while it can be repeated over certain period of time as well as it can be standardized on the target groups of respondents. That way we are able to get reliable and repeatable data for qualitative as well as quantitative motion analysis.

Determination of pain conditions

By using these approach it is possible to precisely determine changes that may be associated with motion performance or with the pain condition. Based on this data it is possible to establish an appropriate individual training program and measure its progression. Functional biomechanical diagnostics therefore enables effective performance training, qualitative rehabilitation of pain conditions and the prevention of injuries in sports.

Analysis procedures

Furthermore, there are many various protocols of biomechanical analysis developed as a strict procedures that need to be followed in order to get valid data for monitoring and directing process of rehabilitation or performance training in sports.

Many examples of the various case studies are listed below as a samples of final reports.

All were studied and developed in over 12 years of dedicated research to enable tracking of characteristics and disorders of the locomotor system.
