Check out episode 35 of the Coach Hos Podcast, where Joanna Goldin, PT, Head of Sales for dorsaVi and Dr. Mike St. George talk to Joe Hos, owner of Sports Rehab PA Performance Therapy & Training.


Here is the breakdown of the Podcast:

0-15 mins: Who DorsaVi is, how long they have been around and how Dr. Trent Nessler implemented research backed tests to be used with DorsaVi assessments. Joanna’s history and how she became involved with dorsaVI as well as her background as a physical therapist.

15-30 mins: Athletic Movement Index (AMI) Battery of tests takes 15-20 minutes. What patients are appropriate for the AMI testing, what tests are performed and at what stage in rehab they are appropriate. DorsaVI provides video analysis and a report printed out with the objective data. Different athletes and positions require different treatment programs. Current objective measures in the physical therapy profession are lacking efficiency. The profession needs to adapt and move forward with more advanced objective measures.

30-45 mins: The wearable sensors can be used for multiple clients/patients and even outside running. The method behind how the sensors are applied and the easy to apply system. dorsaVi can be used in multiple patient populations to analyze movement.

45-60 mins: How the system can be used for analyzing teams and illustrate the importance of athletes requiring a stronger foundation. The difficulty behind playing multiple sports and specialization early on is detrimental towards development of adolescents. dorsaVi can assess baselines throughout growth spurts and changes in body mass and height. dorsaVi is very portable, minimally cumbersome and easy to use anywhere. The report prints immediately. Physical therapy is slow to change and really needs to be proactive towards forward thinking.

60-70 mins: Final 3 questions for Joanna: Biggest obsession, what keeps her up at night and her success habits.

  Why Is It Important to Measure the Speed of Valgus? The Athletic Movement Module (AMI) consists of wearable sensor technology that allows the clinician to obtain immediate, objective data on an athlete's core and lower limb function. As part of this, the technology records not only the amount of Valgus and Varus in actual degrees, but also the speed of both movements during the following tests:  Full squat test  Single-leg squat  Single-leg hop Single-leg hop plant  This is a crucial piece of information for a clinician to have access to and Doctor Trent Nessler  PT, MPT, DPT, and co-founder of the AMI, explains why this is.
