Movement analysis in rehabilitation assesses body mechanics and identifies areas of dysfunction in patients recovering from injury or surgery. Using tools like motion capture systems, force plates, and wearable sensors, therapists gain insight into patients' joint angles, muscle activation, and gait patterns. This data-driven approach helps clinicians design targeted interventions, ensuring efficient recovery. Movement analysis aids in preventing re-injury by optimizing posture and strengthening muscle groups essential for stability. It’s especially beneficial for patients with neurological disorders, where even minor adjustments in movement patterns can significantly improve function. By making rehabilitation precise and measurable, movement analysis enhances outcomes.
