The repetitive nature of some sports can cause stress injuries, also known as overuse injuries, that can have a significant impact on an athlete's performance. These injuries often occur when an athlete is not training correctly or employs improper movement mechanics, leading to pain, swelling, stiffness, or weakness. The most common occurrences of repetitive stress [...]
Ergonomics (or human factors) is the scientific discipline concerned with understanding the interactions between humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies engineering principles and data analysis methods to the design of workstations, products, and systems to optimize human well-being and overall system performance. Manual material handling (MMH) injuries and repetitive [...]

FEATURED CASE STUDY
Chronic R Peroneal Tendon Irritation with Long Distance Running
Subject's age: 17 Subject's gender: Male Reason for visit: Chronic right peroneal tendon irritation with long distance running. Had been going to outpatient physical therapy for several months with great success but still had pain with running > 6-7 miles. Noraxon hardware used: 9 Pro Research IMU sensors & 2 NiNOX 2D video cameras Key [...]
IT Band Syndrome in Distance Running
Subject's age: 17 Subject's gender: Male Reason for visit: IT Band Syndrome in distance running Noraxon hardware used: 3D Motion Capture, NiNOX High-Speed Cameras, Pressure-Instrumented Treadmill Key findings: Pelvic Obliquity, Hip Abduction(adduction) were the parameters we were focusing on. In relation to his IT band syndrome, he demonstrated a contralateral pelvic drop and hip adduction [...]
Bilateral Hip & Knee Pain
Subject's age: 19 Subject's gender: Female Reason for visit: Bilateral hip/knee pain. Patient has history of bilateral hip/knee pain. She has recently increased training intensity with running. She is able to run 1 mile before onset of pain. Patient reports that pain has steadily increased. Patient is currently unable to run without bilateral leg pain. [...]
Increased Jump Height for Better Volleyball Performance
Subject's age: 15 Subject's gender: Female Reason for visit: Increased jump height for better volleyball performance. Noraxon hardware used: Duel force plates & 1 NiNOX high-speed video camera. Key Improvements Shown in Comparison Report: Higher jump height, lower eccentric mean and max KAI. Key findings: Jump height wasn't as high as we wanted, and eccentric [...]
Return to Running After Knee Surgery
Subject's age: 40 Subject's gender: Female Reason for visit: She has been in Infinite Health program awhile. Training programs have been fluidly adjusted over time, but 12/2020 there was a pivot point to support decision for knee surgery. Training and testing pre and post-operative all the way to return to running were measured and used [...]
Lower Extremity Pain & Numbness
Subject's age: 40 Subject's gender: Female Reason for visit: The subject reported to physical therapy initial evaluation with complaints of a 9 month history of right buttock and leg pain as well as numbness and tingling that radiated into her entire right lower extremity. The onset of these pains and paresthesias came after a sprint [...]
