Is the Injury the Problem?
Story of a proffesional soccer player that had 3 right hamstring strains (LHBF) in 5 months. Turned out that the injured leg wasn't the problem but the non-injured leg.
Name: N.M.
Age: 28
Profession: Professional Soccer Player
Injury: 3 right hamstring strains (LHBF) in 5 months
Before using KineMotion he underwent really good strengthening rehab to improve the injured leg strength. The rehab plan was based on latest evidence and literature published. It was not as effective as he was hoping since the ailment still haunted him.
KineMotion helped me to identify that his problem wasn't actually in the injured leg, but on the non-injured leg. When we used KineMotion to see the muscle output of the exercises given as part of the rehab, we saw the right leg was working extremely hard at the expense of the left (non-injured) one, which he showed poor levels of muscle signal output. When we added some single leg drills, we could see his non-injured leg capacity and movement quality was very poor compared to his injured leg. So, in this case, we decided to continue the rehab on his injured leg to continue improving the tissue tolerance to running/kicking but we added (SL) exercises and coordination for the non-injured leg in order to improve left leg capacity and strength.
By following through on this new plan, he got better and is currently playing at an international tournament with his country.

Training the Weak Muscle Right.
Name: S.P.
Age: 26
Profession: Professional Sprinter (100m)
Injury: 2 severe hamstring strains (LHBF)
She has suffered 2 severe hamstring strains (LHBF) on her left leg. First one took palce during a competition and the second one was during the rehabilitation. She started with traditional heavy strength training including Olympic Lifting. Standard for the sport the athlete was aiming to go back to.
KineMotion showed us that despite using the right exercises to target the injured muscle (hamstring), the athlete was compensating & most of the muscle signal was produced from the medial portion of the hamstring muscle. In other words, while the hamstring showed it was getting stronger weekly, the injured muscle wasn't since its signal under contraction was very poor. We used the biofeedback tool to help shift the brain pathway/activation she had adopted at the early stages of the rehab. We spent around 3weeks working on balancing the muscle signal between the medial and lateral hamstring with the biofeedback and afterwards, we continue working on strength as she had done previously. What we also noticed was that her strength markers went up way faster when the whole hamstring muscle worked in a balanced & conjunct way.
She is now fully training again and working towards the indoor season starting around Spring time.

Be Informed every Step of the Way
Name: R.B.
Age:17
Profession: Volleyball Player
Injury: Dislocated Shoulder
She landed wrong when going after a ball and dislocated her shoulder. She was the first patient to have KineMotion used once her surgical protocol allowed for active range of motion. Initial measurements were used to compare to the uninvolved side for goals. The assessments allowed us to obtain more information and get more authorized insurance visits otherwise not given. She demonstrated increase and early activation of the upper trap in which we were able to use to down train the upper trap and then strengthening the lower trap and serratus anterior for correct mechanics of the shoulder. The patient was just released to go back to volleyball without restriction and has no pain in the shoulder.

Let Data Determine your Progress
Name: J.D.
Age:43
Profession: Weight Lifter
Injury: Anterior Shoulder Pain
He had anterior shoulder pain with overhead press and chest strengthening activities. Traditional therapy was performed for 3 months with modification of exercises in the gym and was given an extensive home exercise program in which the patient admitted to no performing as it was too much.
KineMotion was used and found that the lower trap was weak and the upper trap had early activation of over 2000 ms. Assessment continued with his current home exercise program regimen and was determined that 75% of the exercises were not activating the lower trap muscle and did a poor job of activating the serratus anterior which was also weakened. The home exercise program was reduced to 3 specific exercises to address the lower trap, infraspinatus and serratus anterior. Continued modification of weight lifting to avoid over head press and chest press to neutral only. One month later upper trap activation was noted to be 700 ms and anterior shoulder pain was improving. Incline press and chest press was added back to regular exercises.
19th of January 2026 the patient returned: upper trap activation 246 ms early. The lower trap is still weak but the patient reports that the shoulder was feeling better and did not feel he needed to continue with the home exercise program. Assessed over head press and found the upper trap continues to over activate and lower trap is not engaging. Assessed with KineMotion to determine the 3 best exercises for lower trap strengthening and continue with infraspinatus strengthening as weakness is still detected there. He will follow up in 2 weeks for another KineMotion assessment.
