Biomechanical

 First Choice physio offers biomechanical assessments. During a biomechanical assessment, a careful examination is made of the

• Joints,
• Ligaments
• Muscles and
• Neurovascular supply of the lower limb

with specific attention to areas of pain or discomfort. This is done with the patient lying, standing and walking or performing certain tasks or sporting movements.

Assessment includes evaluation of:

1. Muscle strength
2. Range-of-motion at important joints
3. The angular relationships of the segments of the foot and leg

Recurrent injuries are often attributed to biomechanical deficit. These injuries will become persistant unless the underlying issue is addressed.
