PT clinics are often at the mercy of patient compliance, both in their willingness to come to the clinic and continue recommended therapy extensions at home. Technology is fast becoming a critical component to improving compliance, especially if the technology is engaging and easy to implement while providing trackable metrics. The latter often gamifies elements of the process, and for those of us who've been through the rigor of rehabbing significant injuries, we know the benefits of providing mental stimuli to enhance the experience. Skillcourt hits the high note on all these and when you consider the opportunity to use existing CPT codes to position Skillcourt as a revenue generator, it's about as close to a no brainer as I can think.

Following an injury, functional performance testing serves as a valuable tool in determining an athlete's readiness for a sport comeback. These objective assessments empower coaches and clinicians to uncover imbalances, weaknesses, and limitations that may not be apparent at first glance. By offering insights beyond the surface, these performance tests play a pivotal role in devising a tailored treatment strategy to decide an athlete's return-to-play eligibility. Noraxon’s multi-device software makes it easy to integrate a variety of biomechanics recording devices to create a comprehensive return-to-play motion analysis lab. The industry-leading technology helps coaches & clinicians guide a treatment plan for athletes to reduce possible injuries and enhance overall health & performance.

Numerous studies show that optimal balance and stability is essential for athletes of all levels, from youth and recreational to pro and elite. Dynamic instability training can improve force production, core strength and joint stabilization, both for athletic performance and injury prevention. A number of studies from the Memorial University Human Kinetics Lab have reported increased muscle EMG activity (up to an increase by as much as 88%) when an exercise was performed on an unstable rather than stable base, and has also been shown to provide greater challenges to the neuromuscular system and increased activation of the lower body and trunk musculature. Other study results indicate that the use of moderately unstable training devices (i.e., Dyna Disc, BOSU ball) did not provide sufficient challenges to the neuromuscular system in highly trained individuals, and went on to state that the instability of a device is dependent on or can be manipulated by altering the extent of the base of support (a smaller base results in less stability), the vertical or horizontal distance from the base of support (i.e., large-diameter balls may be less stable to stand on), and the architecture of the device, among other factors. #athletictraining #athleticperformance #dynamicinstability #instabilitytraining #jointstabilization #injuryprevention #musclerecruitment #corestrength

The Accomplished Brain Software, Enhancement of our Virtual Reality Vestibular Program Activator, Subsets allows each Subset to have its own Scenery so can have Sceneries that are busy for Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) as well as basic scenery. 1 Software, Many Tools, Cost-Effective, Great Results I had the great opportunity to learn from some great Professors at Johns Hopkins like Hayley Cook learning some great Vestibular Rehab Concepts #physicaltherapist #occupationaltherapist #Chiropractor #Athletictrainer #Vestibularrehab #neuro #neurorehab #concussion #concussionrecovery #traumaticbraininjury #Strokes #strokeawareness #strokesurvivor #Parkinson #PPPD #PersistantPosturalPerceptualDizziness

ForceDecks’ lightweight, portable force plates and intuitive app make it easy to assess your athlete/patient's strength, movement, asymmetry and balance. We asked Jo Clubb to explain ForceDecks in more detail using her experience in high-performance teams including the Premier League, NHL, NFL and more. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀: 1) ForceDecks progression has made them accessible for everyday use across health and sport, shifting their utility beyond specialised labs. 2) ForceDecks strain gauges measure stress, which is proportional to the force applied. These forces are recorded, in accordance with Newton's Laws of Motion. 3) ForceDecks software visualises the vertical GRF across the movement’s duration, creating the force-time curve. This data is analysed to calculate other parameters including velocity, power, and displacement. 4) Right and Left Vertical GRF is shown by a blue line (left leg) and an orange line (right leg). This enables continuous assessment of asymmetry, between the left and right limbs.  5) As ForceDecks continue to advance, applications of force plates are bound to expand, offering even deeper insights into the mechanics of movement.
