Objective Movement Data Using 3D Motion Analysis, EMG, Force & Pressure Mapping

When pain, performance limitations, or return-to-activity decisions are unclear, guessing isn’t good enough. Biomechanics and Motion Diagnostics Testing at Anthrokinetics Physio Lab uses advanced measurement tools to quantify how your body actually moves, loads, and produces force—so decisions are based on data, not assumptions.
This service is built for clients who want measurable answers: what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what needs to change.

What Biomechanics & Motion Diagnostics Testing Includes

We use an integrated diagnostic framework that may include:

  • 3D Motion Capture to assess joint motion, timing, and coordination
  • Surface EMG (sEMG) to evaluate muscle activation patterns
  • 3D Force & Pressure Mapping to analyze loading, symmetry, and impact forces
  • Objective Strength Testing to measure capacity and side-to-side differences
  • Pneumatic-Based Machines for Velocity-Based Training (VBT) to quantify force, speed, and power output

These tools allow us to assess movement under real conditions—dynamic tasks, athletic demands, or work-related activities—not just static positions.

Why This Level of Testing Matters

Many musculoskeletal issues don’t show up on imaging or basic exams. Motion diagnostics help:

  • Identify movement inefficiencies linked to pain or performance loss
  • Support confident return-to-sport or return-to-activity decisions
  • Track objective changes over time
  • Establish clear performance or rehabilitation benchmarks

Instead of being told “it looks good,” you’re shown exactly where you are—and where you need to be.

How the Process Works

1.Detailed Interview to define goals, symptoms, and movement demands

2.Objective Testing using biomechanical and neuromuscular tools

3.Clear Interpretation of results tied to practical recommendations

Results may inform physical therapy, movement retraining, performance planning, or strength programming. Strength packages using pneumatic machines are offered separately and complement—not replace—physical therapy services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this testing only for athletes?
No. It is used for athletes, active adults, and individuals with work-related movement demands.

Will I understand the results?
Yes. Data is explained clearly so you understand what the numbers mean and how they guide next steps.

Is this diagnostic testing the same as physical therapy?
No. This service focuses on objective assessment. It may guide physical therapy or other interventions.

Do you track progress over time?
Yes. Repeat testing allows measurable comparison and progress tracking.

Get Clarity on How You Move

If you want objective answers about movement, strength, and load—not guesswork—biomechanics and motion diagnostics testing provides the foundation.

Rick is an exceptional physical therapist who played a pivotal role in keeping my daughters healthy and performing at their best during their D1 soccer recruiting process. I greatly appreciated Rick’s accessibility, he was always available when needed, providing consistent support throughout their journey. We had Rick on speed dial because we trusted him completely, his responsiveness and reliability were unmatched. If he were still in the area we would absolutely still be relying on him. Can’t say enough about Rick, he’s an invaluable part of any athlete’s support team!

Rick is quite simply the best physical therapist I have ever seen. Many PTs who take insurance just go through the motions and keep you coming back for recurring revenue for the practice and you don’t really get back to 100%. Rick used to work as a physical therapist for the Oakland A’s baseball team, so he really cares about your performance. He uses sophisticated data gathering tools to measure your movement and provide precisely tailored plans from physical therapy to full-on workouts that will help you get stronger, faster. I wish every PT was as data-driven and results-oriented as he is!
