Competency information
Details
Use a variety of clinical methods to assess biomechanics and function (eg forces, active and passive joint movement, motor assessment, muscle activity, interface pressure, shape and energy expenditure) taking into account the complete clinical picture
Considerations
- Anthropomorphic and physiological cost/effort measurements
- Measurements of tissue interface, range and accuracy of movement, type, stability, strength, spasticity, posture and function
- Review of current status, regarding perceptual, physical, sensory and cognitive abilities, and current treatment plan
- Environmental factors (user environment), existing equipment and devices
- Solutions considered may include rehabilitative/assistive technology, biomechanical technology or other intervention provided through multidisciplinary teams
