Advanced Biomechanical Assessment and Preparation
The biomechanical assessment component of prosthetic preparation therapy represents a cutting-edge approach to ensuring optimal prosthetic fit and function. This sophisticated evaluation process utilizes 3D motion capture technology and computerized gait analysis to create detailed movement profiles for each patient. The assessment includes comprehensive strength testing, range of motion measurements, and postural analysis to identify specific areas requiring targeted intervention. This data-driven approach allows therapists to develop highly personalized exercise programs that address individual biomechanical challenges. The preparation phase includes specialized equipment such as partial weight-bearing systems and balance platforms to gradually build strength and coordination while protecting healing tissues. This systematic approach ensures that patients develop the specific movement patterns and muscle memory necessary for successful prosthetic use.
