assesses joint limitation and pain
Biomechanical joint pain assessments allow us to evaluate pain by objectively determining the extent and intensity of injuries.
The results obtained are highly valuable for defining specific rehabilitation routines for each patient, as well as for monitoring their progress throughout treatment, providing new information to assess readiness for medical discharge.
In cases where the patient does not achieve full recovery, our biomechanical tests make it possible to medico-legally certify the patient’s sequelae. This is key for calculating impairment points according to official scales and, for example, claiming compensation in traffic accident cases.
level of painful reaction
injury intensity
Joint pain assessments allow us to evaluate the level of pain response during movement.
These tests analyze active movement by recording the activity of the main muscle groups in each joint. This activity is a precise indicator of biomechanical dysfunction in cases of pain and musculoskeletal injuries, and makes it possible to identify abnormal muscle responses associated with joint pain.
The results are integrated in detail into the biomechanical report, indicating the percentage of active responses.
affected movements
functional limitation
Biomechanical pain assessments allow us to evaluate the most affected movements and actions of each joint.
During each test, the myoelectric activity of the main muscle groups is recorded throughout movement, detecting muscles that show abnormal recruitment or inadequate activity. The results are detailed in the biomechanical report, identifying the number of altered patterns in each movement.
In this way, it is possible to determine which movements are most affected and therefore represent a greater functional limitation for the patient.
affected structures
diagnostic orientation
Biomechanical pain assessments also allow us to evaluate which joint structures or regions are most affected.
By recording the activity of different muscle groups, it is possible to determine which ones show altered contraction patterns and when these occur.
This information helps to objectively identify the joint structures involved in the patient’s pain condition, providing a clear diagnostic orientation of the problem.
anomalous patterns
types of pain
Our pain assessment test integrates a set of evaluations to determine the type of anomalies present in muscle activity patterns. It allows us to identify elevated muscle contraction levels at rest, muscle inhibitions or excessive activity during movement, co-activation of opposing muscles to restrict motion, relaxation failures after effort, and deficient muscle activity associated with pain.
In this way, it is possible to carry out a precise monitoring of the patient’s progression, and even distinguish whether the condition is an acute post-traumatic pain or a chronic pain disorder.
uXpain technology
assessment of pain
Our uXpain technology allows us to evaluate over 60 muscular parameters associated with pain and musculoskeletal dysfunction.
We study injuries in the arms, legs, jaw, and spine, always applying very fast, non-invasive clinical protocols that are completely safe for the patient, regardless of age.
The results provide an objective assessment of the level of joint pain, offering a precise evaluation of the most affected movements and structures.
Who is it for?
frequent cases
In our laboratories, we have assessed over 15,000 individuals with pain and joint dysfunction conditions.
Patients visit us to evaluate their recovery after traffic accidents, as well as for painful joint pathologies resulting from sports injuries, workplace accidents, and even occupational and chronic diseases.
On a daily basis, we assess cases such as whiplash, disc herniations and degenerative disc diseases, lower back and neck pain, rotator cuff tendinitis, subacromial syndromes, chondromalacia and patellar tendinitis, meniscal injuries, Achilles tendon ruptures, fractures with osteosynthesis and joint prostheses, pubalgia…
