Designed specifically for monitoring athletes in the real world, our wearable insoles provide high-quality research grade movement data to capture an athlete's game performance and limb loadings. instagram.com/p/C11xWrur-f7/…
In high-performance sports, where sprinting is a crucial performance determinant, two key 🔑 metrics that provide valuable insights to coaches are time-to-peak-acceleration (TTPA) & time-to-peak-velocity (TTPV). View full article: plantiga.com/blog/time-to-pe…

Great day of sharing research @plantiga! Looking forward to continued collaboration to move biomechanical research out of the lab and into the real world! – at Vancouver, British Columbia
Using cluster analyses, Romero and colleagues (2022) took a unique investigative approach to how fatigue increases hamstring strain risk in football players. They identified three different kinematic adaptations that would have been lost with a between-group analysis
Some players adopted protective sprint strategies that theoretically reduce the risk of a hamstring injury, whereas others adopted sprint strategies that may increase it #measurewhereitmatters
The findings of this research study support the need to individualize assessment approaches to better understand an athlete’s unique joint coordination strategies and identify potential muscle-specific performance deficiencies (both within AND between limbs!) #measurewhatmatters

🎙️NEW EP - @rachelssanders, Founder/CEO of Rootine (@rootine_co) talks with @QuinSandler about the future of biomechanics tracking 🦾
Quin Sandler is the founder & CEO of Plantiga (@plantiga) a smart insole system that analyzes movement in the real world. ⤵️🧵
In Return To Sport testing after an ACL injury, outcome-based performance measures (distance, height, speed) cannot account for the unique demands of many field sports. #plantiga #movementhealth #rehab #injuryprevention

with all that amount of training and hours running in my schedule for this season, I am really interested in seeing all data that I could get from @plantiga smart soles and its further implementation in building a better training program

Human performance is complex - our first step is to break it down and understand what makes it tick. Prepare. Perform. Recover. #Boomer @HawkinDynamics @plantiga
Our very own Matt Jordan @jordanstrength describes what RSI is and how he uses its individual component parts in return-to-play decision-making and general performance readiness.

The ability to collect meaningful movement data is the goal, but how can practitioners be confident that they are achieving just that for their patients?
While potentially powerful, remote monitoring also poses new and unexpected challenges for practitioners, such as the extra training and time needed to analyze and interpret the large amounts of daily movement data from even just a single patient.
This is where great ideas with the best intentions can fall short, and we continue to compare apples and oranges. #movementhealth #wearabletech #measurewhatmatters #injuryprevention
