Dynamic movement assessment is a rehabilitation technique that evaluates the body's movement patterns to identify dysfunctions, imbalances, or weaknesses that may lead to pain or injury. It involves assessing the way a person moves during various functional tasks, such as walking, running, bending, or lifting.
By analyzing these movements, therapists can pinpoint areas where compensatory patterns, muscle imbalances, or joint restrictions are contributing to pain or limiting function. The assessment helps to develop a tailored rehabilitation plan to address specific issues and improve overall movement efficiency.
Dynamic movement assessment is particularly beneficial for preventing injuries, improving athletic performance, and identifying underlying causes of pain or dysfunction.
