Force Plate Analysis: Advanced Performance Analysis & Injury Prevention
Are you looking to take your athletic performance to the next level? At Peak Physiotherapy and Performance in Oklahoma City, our state-of-the-art Force Plate Analysis technology provides elite-level biomechanical insights that can transform your training and prevent career-limiting injuries. Whether you’re a competitive athlete or dedicated weekend warrior, understanding your body’s movement patterns is crucial for peak performance and injury prevention.
What is Force Plate Analysis?
Force Plate Analysis is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool that measures the forces your body produces during movement. Think of it as a high-tech radar system for your body’s performance. By capturing precise data about how you move, jump, and balance, we can identify potential issues before they become injuries and optimize your movement patterns for maximum performance.
How It Works
Our advanced force plate system measures:
- Ground reaction forces during movement
- Weight distribution patterns
- Balance and stability metrics
- Power output during jumping and landing
- Movement symmetry between sides
This detailed analysis allows our experienced physical therapists to create personalized training and rehabilitation programs based on objective data rather than visual observation alone.
