Advanced multifactorial movement analysis provides a comprehensive and in-depth evaluation of motor impairments by integrating kinematic, kinetic, and neuromuscular data. It represents the most advanced level of clinical movement analysis and is particularly indicated when the complexity of a case requires a deeper understanding of the underlying causes of movement dysfunction.
By combining 3D motion analysis, ground reaction force measurement, and surface electromyography (sEMG), it becomes possible to study human movement as the result of the interaction between joints, muscles, and external forces. This integrated approach goes beyond simple movement description and enables a causal interpretation of functional impairments.
When integrated into high-specialization clinical workflows, multifactorial movement analysis provides critical information to support therapeutic and surgical decision-making, improving the overall quality of clinical decisions in complex cases.
In complex clinical cases, visual observation and partial assessments are insufficient to fully understand the causes of movement alterations. Multifactorial movement analysis allows for the correlation of kinematics, kinetics, and muscle activation, distinguishing structural deficits from compensatory strategies. This approach reduces clinical uncertainty and supports more informed and targeted decisions, particularly in pre- and post-surgery contexts
This application supports professionals working in high-complexity clinical environments, including:
Medical specialists and surgeons: informed pre- and post-surgical decision-making
Physiatrists and experienced physiotherapists: managing complex cases not responding to standard treatments
Neurology specialists: advanced evaluation of central movement disorders
Reference centers and hospitals: multidisciplinary gait disorder assessments
Universities and research centers: advanced studies in biomechanics and motor control
Provides a comprehensive and integrated understanding of human movement
Supports causal interpretation of motor impairments
Reduces clinical uncertainty in complex cases
Improves therapeutic and surgical planning
Enables objective comparison before and after treatment
“BTS Bioengineering’s technologies offer a comprehensive operating system to currently capture multiple points of data. This is extremely important when working with children as they often fatigue quickly or lose interest after several trials. As such, we are able to capture data in a single pass”
