Clinical Patient Case Study: Running Module Helps Create a Treatment Plan for Avid Marathoner Recovering From Injury

-

 We are excited to share another case study in which dorsaVi's wearable sensor technology was utilised by Physical Therapist, Chris Wolfe.

The brochure below will explain the testing, results and post-treatment outcome of a 50-year-old female marathon runner whose Physical Therapist utilised dorsaVi wearable sensor technology to create a treatment plan.

We provide and explain the easy to read data to help you understand how the dorsaVi Running Module was best utilised to create a tailor-made treatment plan for the patient. 

This case study will demonstrate how dorsaVi wearable sensor technology and the running module can be used to provide clinicians with immediate data for decreasing injury potential, increasing injury prevention, and creating safer return-to-play decisions.


If you are interested in learning more about the Run Module technology and how it is used as a crucial tool by clinicians, check out some of our other case studies:

Why Did DorsaVi Create the AMI?

-
Why Did DorsaVi Create the AMI? On this blog, we have discussed: what the AMI is capable of, case studies and reviews from clients about this wearable sensor technology. However, we have yet to discuss how the AMI came to be created. Our Marketing & Sales team had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Dr. Trent Nessler, PT, MPT, DPT and the co-founder of the AMI to ask exactly "Why the AMI was built?" As a Physical Therapist, Doctor Trent Nessler was witnessing movement patterns detrimental to an athlete's movement, even after they had completed rehab. Interested in reducing this risk, he set about trying to find a way to better assess an athlete's recovery.  Watch the quick clip below to hear how Doctor Trent Nessler came to create the AMI: For more information on the AMI, check out some of our other blog posts:  Why Have These Tests Been Specifically Selected For the AMI Assessment?

Gareth Ziyambi: Using the dorsaVi sensors on the GB Diving Team

-
Gareth Ziyambi and dorsaVi   DorsaVi had the opportunity to sit down with  Gareth Ziyambi,  Physiotherapist for UK Swimming and Diving and  the Clinic Director & Principal Physiotherapist at A2Z Elite Health & Performance in London, UK, for a fascinating discussion about his use of the dorsaVi wearable sensors from the Olympics to the Clinic. One aspect of the dorsaVi sensors that is hugely beneficial for clinicians and physiotherapists is its versatility. It can be used to assess football players, gymnasts and, in this instance, the Great British Olympic Diving Team.  Watch the short clip below  and learn how Gareth used the dorsaVi sensors with the divers. In this clip: Gareth discusses using the technology for the pre-season screening, repeating that process at key points through that season. Through the objective and easy-to-read data, Gareth was able to use it for performance markers. The reports also provided helpful return-to-play markers, when a diver injured themselves

Kinesiophobia and the AMI: How Can the AMI Help Reassure Patients?

-
Kinesiophobia and the AMI Previously on this blog, we have discussed the importance of the TSK-11 and patient-reported outcomes (PROM). In this blog post, three crucial questions were answered:  What is the TSK-11?  Why is this PROM so important in ACL Return to Play assessments? How does the TSK-11 complement dorsaVi’s AMI Assessment?   The post went on to outline the  symbiotic relationship shared between the TSK-11 and the AMI: if an athlete scores poorly on their TSK-11, they can be assessed under an AMI assessment. The AMI test results will then reflect whether an athlete is fearful of weight-bearing as the Single Leg tests can reveal apprehension in physically using their previously injured leg.  This is a crucial point, however, the AMI offers another point of reassurance in regards to an athlete and kinesiophobia: the ability for the athlete to see the results and movement improvement for themselves.    This is a point best articulated in the quick clip attached below with the
