Sports Movement Analysis in Burlington – Physiotherapist Led Sports Movement Evaluation
What is Sports Movement Analysis?
At Cogent Rehab Burlington, we use the OnForm app to deliver advanced sports movement analysis for athletes, including semi-professional and professional performers. This technology enables our physiotherapists to record your movements in high definition and break them down with biomechanical precision, providing insights that go beyond the human eye to inform rehabilitation, injury prevention and performance programming.
What's Included in Sports Movement Analysis
-
Video Capture & Slow-Motion Review – OnForm allows us to record sport-specific movements (running, cutting, jumping, swinging, kicking) from multiple angles, then replay in slow motion.
-
Biomechanical Analysis – We assess joint angles, posture, symmetry, and efficiency to detect compensations or high-risk mechanics.
-
Treatment Integration – Results are used to design a custom rehabilitation or performance program, combining strength training, mobility, neuromuscular control, and technique refinement.
-
Progress Tracking – Athletes receive follow-up video comparisons to monitor improvements across sessions.
Who Benefits from OnForm Analysis?

What are Some Applications of OnForm by Sport?
OnForm is not used as a stand-alone coaching tool, but rather as a clinical method integrated into physiotherapy. It helps us uncover hidden compensations and adjust treatment with evidence-based, athlete-specific insights in any sports including:
-
Soccer: hip stability, knee valgus risk, sprint and kicking mechanics.
-
Running: cadence, stride length, hip drop, knee tracking, trunk control.
-
Basketball/Court sports: jump-landing symmetry, pivot mechanics, ankle stability.
-
Golf/Baseball: kinetic chain sequencing, weight transfer, trunk rotation, shoulder mechanics.
-
Professional athletes: load tolerance, fatigue mechanics, and asymmetry detection.
