SSC Individual Screening Program

Background

Players who suffer from repetitive or longstanding injuries present a significant challenge for all teams. Often these injuries are treated with rest to allow symptoms to settle but the underlying causes are never properly addressed leading to a recurrence of the injury when training recommences.

The Service

SSC has developed a service to cater for these athletes. It includes:

• Detailed history of injury and associated problems
• Comprehensive assessment of the entire athlete
• Individualised program tailored to meet player’s needs
• Access to online videos and exercises to ensure maximum compliance

Assessment

We have a wide range of methods available to us where necessary to carry out a comprehensive assessment of the athlete.

·                     Video Analysis

Using computer software we can break down athletes’ movement patterns to identify weakness and altered movement patterns.

·                     Functional Movement Screening

Movement patterns utilised during athletic movement are analysed for poor mobility and stability.

·                     Gait Scanning

Analysis of foot type, weight distribution and gait pattern is carried out using computer software for detailed analysis.

·                     Isokinetics Testing

Allows for accurate measurement of muscle strength and power identifying deficiencies and asymmetries.

·                     Core Stability Assessment

Analysis of the athlete’s ability to control his / her trunk appropriately
