Clinical Assessment
Clinical assessment forms a very important part of a motion and sports analysis assessment. It is tailored to the patient, athlete and the questions posed by the referrer/coach. It typically includes assessment of the relevant limb or full body biomechanics, measurement of the joint ranges, muscle strength & function; the clinical assessment is then correlated with the relevant motion measurement from the extensive list of high tech equipment (hyperlink) equipment at IMAR before a recommendation is made for alleviating pain and/or enhancing performance. The Clinical Motion and Sports Services in Dundee have been in operation since 2003 and 2007 respectively and are led by Professor Rami Abboud and Mrs Sheila Gibbs.
