Movement Analysis in Annapolis, MD

Identify Dysfunction, Optimize Movement, and Prevent Injury

Movement Analysis is an advanced diagnostic approach that identifies faulty movement patterns, assesses biomechanical inefficiencies, and creates personalized treatment strategies for optimal physical function. At GOfit Physical Therapy in Annapolis, MD, our expert clinicians use evidence-based movement assessment tools to pinpoint the root cause of pain and dysfunction, helping you move better and perform at your best.

What Is Movement Analysis?

Movement Analysis includes a variety of assessment techniques used by physical therapists to evaluate how you move and identify areas of dysfunction. These techniques include:

  • Functional Movement Screening (FMS): Identifies asymmetries and limitations in fundamental movement patterns 

  • Gait Analysis: Evaluates walking and running mechanics to detect inefficiencies and injury risk factors

  • Video Motion Analysis: Captures and analyzes movement in real-time to identify compensatory patterns 

  • 3D Biomechanical Assessment: Measures joint angles, forces, and movement quality across multiple planes of motion 

How Does Movement Analysis Work?

Movement Analysis techniques are designed to:

✔ Identify movement dysfunction by revealing compensatory patterns and biomechanical deficits 

✔ Predict injury risk by detecting asymmetries and movement limitations before pain develops

✔ Guide treatment planning by providing objective data to create targeted interventions 

✔ Track progress by measuring improvement in movement quality throughout rehabilitation
