Diagnostic tools

4-D static analysis and pedobarography
In the 4-D static analysis, the pelvis and spine are measured in seconds and displayed three-dimensionally using a special camera. This provides information on body statics. Additionally, pedobarography measures the pressure distribution under the feet while standing and walking. This data can be used to detect and analyze postural deviations or gait abnormalities, such as those associated with back pain and overload symptoms.

High-resolution ultrasound and elastography
High-resolution ultrasound makes muscles, tendons, and connective tissue visible. Elastography measures tissue stiffness and can depict structure and tension. They are used for diagnosing muscle and tendon injuries and for monitoring therapy progress.

DVT (digital volume tomography) and digital (functional) X-rays under load
DVT is a 3D X-ray procedure with high detail resolution and low radiation exposure. Functional X-rays under load show the joints in real positions, such as the foot while standing. These methods are used for joint complaints or deformities in the foot, knee, or spine area.

MRI imaging (open MRI)
Magnetic resonance imaging provides high-resolution images of muscles, ligaments, intervertebral discs, or cartilage without radiation exposure. The open version offers more space and is more comfortable for patients – useful for those with claustrophobia or overweight.

Neuromuscular analysis (e.g., Huber Motion Lab)
This analysis can measure balance, strength, coordination, and reaction capability in functional movements. Ideal for identifying deficits in movement control and for training regulation.

Isometric strength measurement (e.g., Myoline)
This involves pressing against fixed sensors like force plates to measure maximum strength. This allows for the assessment of the strength of individual muscle groups.

Measurement of body composition
It provides information about the body's composition, such as muscle mass, fat percentage, and water distribution. It is often conducted via bioimpedance measurement, providing a good basis for assessing training condition and planning and controlling therapy.

Functional testing (RTA, FMS)
With test procedures like Functional Movement Screen (FMS) or Return-to-Activity Tests (RTA), basic movement patterns, stability, mobility, and neuromuscular control can be analyzed. This facilitates, for example, the regulation of training in rehab.
