In Physiotherapy, Movement Analysis is the systematic study of how a person performs a movement, to identify normal patterns, compensations, and impairments that may need intervention.

1. Movement analysis

2. Key Areas of Analysis:
• Range of Motion: Assessing the limits of movement at
joints.
• Muscle Activity: Identifying which muscles are activated and
the type of muscle action (concentric, eccentric, isometric).
• Movement Patterns: Analyzing the sequence and
coordination of movements.
• Force and Power: Evaluating the forces generated and
power output during movement.
• Balance and Stability: Assessing the ability to maintain
equilibrium during movement.

3. Sitting to standing
• The sit-to-stand movement involves
transitioning from a seated to a standing
position and is crucial for daily activities. It's a
complex movement that requires coordination
of limbs, weight transfer, and balance
maintenance. The movement can be analyzed
into four phases, each with specific
characteristics and postural control demands.
