A unique and powerful system for screening movement, increasing performance and reducing risk of injury

The Performance Matrix is a 'breakthrough' screening tool that assesses the site, direction and threshold of uncontrolled movement online through a series of functional movement tests. It has been developed to enhance performance and decrease the risk of injury and re-injury in athletes, sports people and all active individuals.

It does more than just evaluate strengths and weaknesses:

• The Performance Matrix is the first screening tool to look at low and high threshold movement control using functional tasks that involve multiple joint movements.
• The low threshold tests identify uncontrolled movement relating to non-fatiguing motor co-ordination. The high threshold tests identify uncontrolled movement relating to core strength and limb speed.
• A scoring system allows comparison and/or re-evaluation.
• Movement control is assessed using functional tasks that involve multiple joint movements.
• The Performance Matrix is applicable to all active individuals, athletes and sports
• It helps prevent the risk of injury
• It optimises performance

There are several versions of The Performance Matrix which are tailored to screen the movement patterns used in specific sports and occupations. Performance Stability is also developing Matrices for sites of the body that are subject to risk of injury and re-injury.

How It Works

The Performance Matrix system relies upon a series of quick online tests to gather data from the target athlete. This data is then analysed to identify high and low risk deficiencies and strengths. The results are then published as an online status report, which shows the analysis and the results.

Movement screening is carried out using an easy to operate online system, which provides videos of functional movements and a simple interface for answering questions about your client’s ability to carry out the movement. This data gathered is then analysed to identify high and low risk deficiencies and strengths. The results are available immediately as an online status report which shows the analysis and the results.

Having carried out the tests and completed a detailed analysis of the results the practitioner can use their own knowledge and skills to develop and effective training programme

As additional services we offer courses on advanced techniques for developing retraining strategies and Consultancy Services that will help develop effective training programmes for teams and elite athletes. Please see Performance Stability for more details.

Ongoing optimisation process:

• Retest using The Performance Matrix
• Analyse and re-evaluate test results
• Develop a comprehensive client profile to monitor performance over time
• Modify the client’s training programme to take into account changes.
