Biomechanics is the discipline that studies the movement of the human body, whether walking, running or performing any action that involves movement.

Its objective is to identify alterations or imbalances that occur during movement in order to propose intervention methods that improve the patient’s performance, health and quality of life.

Thanks to advances in science and technology in recent years, the possibilities offered by Biomechanics applied to sport have been growing, all with the same common factor: to improve the athlete’s performance and reduce the risk of injury by analyzing and correcting movement.

In the case of high-level athletes, often and due to the high number of hours of training.

Nowadays, any person who practices sports, regardless of their level, runs the risk of suffering pain or injury by repeatedly performing a movement or gesture incorrectly when practicing sports. This risk is of course greater in high-level athletes due to the high number of hours of training they do.

Hence the importance of analyzing in detail the factors involved when we perform a particular movement (technique, joint ranges, muscle groups, time that lasts the action … etc). Thanks to all this information, we are able to propose improvements in the movement or action thus increasing its performance and reducing the risk of injury.

In Ergodynamics we have more than 45 years of experience studying the instabilities produced in walking and running that can lead to pain and injuries as common as knee pain, back pain or muscle overload.
