Video Analysis
The use of video can be particularly helpful to study movement, analyze complicated activities and provide feedback for training and correction. The common areas where the video analysis is helpful are;
- Walking pattern (gait)
- Running
- Lifting and handling
- Sport specific actions
It is important to recognize that not everybody needs this type of analysis as sometimes it is possible to observe the mechanical problem comes field observation. Therefore we would only recommend video analysis in the following situations:
- When it is likely to help with directing treatment
- When there is a problem identifying the underlying cause of pain
- When clinical evaluation is not giving sufficient information
- Individuals want to have a video record for their own benefit.
- Where video may be beneficial to a coach / trainer to enhance performance.
