Physical evaluation using treadmill and video – Medicus.ca

Foot evaluation

Médicus Sport is preparing it’s endorsement towards the change of the century in the physical fitness field.

It’s unique system places it at the top of the list for innovation in the physical re-education domain.

Thanks to Médicus Sport, physical activity has become accessible to all.

 
The biomechanics of movement

A complete evaluation of your foot joint;  muscular summary; verification for asymmetries;  performance evaluation.  Static and dynamic analysis using a treadmill and video.
Depending on the outcome of the evaluation, one or more of  the following options will be suggested:  shoes, personalized exercise programs, foot orthosis, orthopedic supports or electrical stimulators.

 
Kinorthotics

Kinorthotics™ is kinesiology combined with an orthosis prosthesis.  It offers a personalized physical activity paired with the recommendation or fabrication of equipment geared towards aligning the posture or rebalancing the muscle structure. The two evaluations, performed by the kinorthesist, consist of an evaluation of both the posture and the sports movements.  This is done with the collaboration and participation of the healthcare professional.

Kinorthotics™ Program.

  • Pinpoint the cause of the problem
  • Avoid a pathological chain reaction
  • Improve the client’s quality of life through a decrease or elimination of pain, stress & fatigue
  • Prevent injuries due to bad posture or pathology.

Boot and Skate adjustement

``Bootfitting``is the term used to describe the adjusting of shoes, skates or boots (ski/snowboarding) to your foot, thereby improving posture and performance using different methods, tools and materials.
Following an analysis of your foot, posture and/or ski boot or skate, you will be offered  an effective and adapted solution to any future problems related to your sport activity.
Bootfitting can be combined with moulded orthopedic insoles, resulting in optimal biomechanic alignment and a balanced performance.

Bootfitting allows for:

  • Elimination of pressure points in your boots or skates
  • A decrease in fatigue due to sport activity
  • Prevention of injuries or foot pain, ankle pain, knee pain or lower back pain etc…
  • Considerable performance improvement

If your shoes are uncomfortable or you simply want to improve on your performance, contact us for an appointment.

Biomechanic evaluation and joint mobility analysis

Lack of joint movement, no matter where on the body, can influence the body’s general biomechanics when practicing our daily functions or sports.  Left untreated, injuries caused by fatigue, wear or stress can be the result.  Biomechanic and joint mobility analysis allow for problem pinpointing, and are followed by treatment to correct posture problems related to inadequate joint mobility.

Dynamic or static sport movement analysis

Sport movements are often evaluated by a trainer in order to highlight any technical problem related to physical deficiencies, bad posture or training which, more often than not, affect sports movements and athlete performance. To provide this, state of the art equipment is used such as the following;  Presto Scan, video camera, DARTFISH sports movements logistic hardware, treadmill and stationary bike etc…

Our suggestions:

  • Sports movements analysis highlighting any physical or technical gaps.
  • Complete biomechanic analysis to aid in the development of  healthy and performant
    sports movements
  • Create an individualized program aimed at improving performance

Posture evaluation, verification for asymmetries, performance evaluation

The healthy solution proposed by Médicus Sport is directed to anyone searching for an extended and performant active life.  Striving to provide a means to improved technical movements / injury prevention, we offer evaluations for adolescents and students who intensively practice a sports program, student sports teams or members of university sports centers.

Nowadays, many suffer from back, knee or foot pain.  Often, these types of pain stem from bad posture.
Our goal, at Médicus Sport, is to detect the many posture flaws and body asymmetries.  In order to do this, we will subject you to several different tests which will provide us with the means to properly evaluate your body’s biomechanics.

  • Asymmetry observation on three levels:  frontal, saggital and transverse.
  • Muscular strength test
  • Romberg test
  • Fukuda test
  • Unipodal Stance test

The classic Romberg test:  Standing with feet together, eyes open then shut, for a 30 second time period.

Fuduka test:  Patients are blindfolded and made to march on the spot.  Faulty movement patterns may then be observed.

Unipodal Stance test:  The patient is asked to stand on one leg for a 10 second time period.  His/her eyes remain open and either leg may be used.  The patient must then bend his/her knee, while remaining in an upright position.
Following the results of these tests we will suggest either exercises or equipments necessary to correct the problems.
