Movement is a unique response to demand of the function. In other words, desired function is the driving force of movement. However the body has a very unique way of accomplishing movement even when normal function is not there. For example someone can walk with a sore ankle, but the walking pattern will be altered. The altered pattern places more stress on the ankle and the surrounding bones and muscles. This creates a cycle in which the original problem does not resolve and additional injuries begin to occur. Using the best video analysis software available (short of a movement lab) and an understanding of movement the HPC staff is able asses the altered movement pattern and provide methods to return to body to normal motion.
