New Case Study: Young Baseball Catcher with Low Back Pain

-

We are very excited to share with you our new AMI case study. 


Scroll down to read all about how DorsaVi’s AMI Module was used to help explain the back pain of a baseball athlete and create a treatment plan to help relieve the plan.


The brochure will explain how DorsaVi’s AMI Module and wearable sensor technology was used to assess the athlete’s movements, explain the presence of low back pain, and how it is attributed to certain repetitive manoeuvres of an athlete in the sport of baseball. 


We will walk you through the results of the athlete’s AMI assessment and explain how the AMI data and results were used to create a pain-free physical therapy regime and subsequently improve his performance in baseball.


In this case study, we demonstrate how easy and effective the AMI module is for clinicians to utilise as a tool. It also shows how valuable the AMI module is for assessing an athlete’s physical well-being: its actionable data is a crucial tool for creating, improving, and monitoring the success of an athlete’s training and physical therapy plan.

Another Great Research Article: Can Talented Soccer Players Reach Elite Level Sports After ACL Reconstructive Surgery?

Can Talented Youth Soccer Players Who Have Undergone Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Reach the Elite Level? This research article, from the  American Journal of Sports Medicine , investigates whether ACL reconstructive surgery on talented youth soccer players has affected their ability to progress to elite level sports. This study was conducted on a cohort of young soccer players from the Swedish National Elite Camp from 2005 to 2011.  This information was then matched with the Swedish National Knee Ligament Registry to identify players who underwent ACL reconstructive surgery:  Players between the ages of 15 and 19 who underwent ACL reconstruction are compared to those who remained uninjured and played in the National Elite Camp to ascertain whether ACL reconstruction affected decisions to remain an active soccer player and chances to play at the elite level.  The study concluded ACL reconstructive surgery offered players an opportunity to reach elite leve...

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, wh...

AMI Tests: Why Is It Important to Measure the Speed of both Valgus and Varus?

-
  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. During a Webinar, our dorsaVi team were able to ask exactly why the speed of Valgus and Varus should be measured? And, why it is so important?  Ultimately, Trent sums up the importance of measuring the speed of both Valgus and Varus for an athlete through three crucial points:  Speed is a major factor in force. When you cont...
