Conferences for physical therapists: developing your skills and network

Long considered a cornerstone of physical therapy, manual therapy remains widely used to reduce pain and improve mobility. While it can provide rapid symptom relief and help restore movement, current scientific evidence shows that it is rarely sufficient on its own to deliver lasting outcomes. Today, it is increasingly integrated into a broader rehabilitation approach c...

The drop jump is a key test for assessing explosive power and stretch-shortening cycle efficiency. However, traditional metrics such as jump height, ground contact time, or RSI only tell part of the story. Two athletes may achieve similar results while relying on very different neuromuscular strategies. This article explores how force-time, power-time, and stiffness-tim...

In both sports performance and rehabilitation, understanding how the body produces, absorbs, and controls force has become essential for improving outcomes and reducing injury risk. Yet visual observation alone is no longer enough to capture the full complexity of human movement. 3D motion analysis takes assessment a step further. By measuring ground reaction forces acr...
