Biomechanical Analysis

Speed, strength, agility, and flexibility are key components when it comes to succeeding in athletics. Athletic performance begins with biomechanics. Biomechanics determines how much muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments work together to produce movement. Athletes often exhibit sub-optimal biomechanics, which not only limits them from performing at their best but can also result in injury.

While it may be difficult for an individual athlete to recognize his or her own faulty movement patterns, athletic trainers at VMH Sports Medicine are able to utilize video analysis to examine each component of the movement—from cutting, to jumping, to landing, swinging a golf club or baseball bat. Trainers then provide advice to correct faulty movement patterns. An individualized training program may also be developed to allow the athlete to take his or her game to the next level.

Biomechanical analysis can be performed for virtually any activity or movement.
