the first things we do to assess how you are moving is check your walking and running gait with the Oryx motion capture system.
Gait is the most important of our movement patterns
It provides the platform for everything we do and how we do it
Understanding movement is about more than just measuring angles and forces
Our technology captures the essence of how movement emerges by analyzing the internal dynamics and coordination of muscle synergies.
This approach provides a deeper, more accurate understanding of movement quality and performance, allowing us to quantify movement quality, stability, and adaptability
Complexity
The gait motion is complex and has many moving parts. In fact, we think that is so complex that you never exactly repeat the same stride twice in your life. There is a self-organizing principle that underlies your gait. This idea of the dynamic systems theory is the basis for your walking and running gait analysis.
When we decompose the gait cycle, we can detect several stable and unstable patterns. We call the stable patterns “attractors”.
.
Improving a gait pattern isn’t easy
After this initial assessment we identify these stable and unstable patterns. By defining the stable elements within movement, we gain understanding with respect to the quality of it. This allows us to customize specific exercises to address your unstable movement patterns. This requires knowledge on anatomy, physiology, movement sciences and highly specific training techniques.
next, we customize specific exercises to address your unstable movement patterns and deliver them in the physiooutcomes app
We have developed a patient-centered web portal and app named PhysioOutcomes that utilizes streaming, clinician prescribed video instruction to motivate and inform patients in self-care of their orthopedic condition, focusing on the importance of a home exercise program.
Our exercises are designed to bring out your biointelligence
The self-organizing principle that underlies your gait analysis is also the basis for the exercises we recomend for you . For your gait analysis, we use Artificial Intelligence (AI). For Your exercise prescription, we aim to bring out your Innate Intelligence (II). Your body has an inner wisdom that constantly wants to conserve energy and avoid injury. We think the training of agility needs to respect this Innate Intelligence to be effective.
Your progress is monitored in the app by our health coaches
Our coaches provide structured weekly topics, practical tools and guidance as well as accountability and support
In 6-12 months, we repeat your Walking and Running Gait assessment
This allows us to evalute your progress and modify your program accordingly
