Video Analysis
Video analysis is the use of high-speed digital video to analyze an individual’s movement patterns, joint biomechanics, and functional performance in activities such as walking, running, throwing, cycling, and swinging a golf club. This tool is useful in identifying movement dysfunctions that are not easily diagnosed using visual observation.
Physical therapists are uniquely qualified to perform motion analysis due to their understanding of the underlying changes in muscle and joint function that lead to altered mechanics. By combining physical assessment with computerized video analysis, your SSPT physical therapist can provide you with a complete understanding of how your body is functioning. Video analysis also offers instant feedback to help all levels of exercise enthusiasts correct their posture or modify their technique.
You can download a digital video file that includes a copy of your video analysis. In addition, therapeutic exercises issued by your therapist can also be filmed, providing you with real-time instruction for accurately completing your rehabilitation program at home.
