Movement Analysis Test (MAT)

The Movement Analysis Test (MAT) is a functional test that is performed by a medical specialist within the Isokinetic Green Room.

This is a video analysis test used to assess movement quality. It consists of the frontal and lateral evaluation of six different movements (with customisations) using a high-speed camera system, force platform, and a dedicated software.

Designed for the evaluation of movement patterns in patients after Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction surgery, as a criterion for readiness to safely return to practicing a sport, MAT can also help patients with other knee conditions, such as patellofemoral syndrome or other lower limb disorders.

This test is incorporated into the return-to-sport process as it contributes to the personalisation of neuromotor training and reduces the risk of subsequent injury (specifically, Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury).
