Rationale:
Performing artists are exposed to high strains during their performance. These strains are similar to the ones of professional athletes, but in contrast to athletes there is a comprehensive undersupply of care regarding preventive and rehabilitative therapy offers.
Purpose:
The purpose of RefLabPerform is to develop a reference laboratory for the assessment of neuromusculoskeletal disorders using physiotherapeutic assessment methods in combination with biomechanical motion analysis. This includes the automatized integration of the physiotherapeutic assessments with the technical biomechanical analysis for an individual treatment recommendation with decentralized health care recommendations for a home-based therapy based on evidence-based prevention and rehabilitation strategies.
Methods:
Several work packages are processed systematically, whereby according to the requirements in the course of the project an overlapping of work packages occurs. First, the component planning of the innovative reference laboratory structure is carried out, on which the clinical and technical development of the reference laboratory is based. The next steps are the development of individual clinical assessment protocols, prevention and rehabilitation strategies as well as the setup of the laboratory and the development of technical routines. Parallel to this, various analysis tools are being developed for biomechanical data as well as for physiotherapeutic diagnostics and merged at the end of this work package for individual results for different groups of performing artists. Overlapping with the previous work packages, the reference laboratory will be tested for application and manageability. Clinical and technical data are brought together and checked by means of individual case trials on various groups of artists. In terms of an agile software development process, the results flow back into the previous work packages in order to optimize them and then test them again.
Results:
At the end of the project a functional and proven reference laboratory for the comprehensive analysis of performing artists will be developed.
Conclusions:
This reference laboratory is specialized to the diagnosis and treatment of playing- and performance-related dysfunctions with a focus on clinical findings and biomechanical movement analysis.
Educational Objectives:
At the end of the presentation, the participants will be able to…
1. describe the innovative content of the project RefLabPerform
2. understand the advantages of merged analysis strategies by physiotherapeutic and biomechanical examinations
3. understand the complex interdisciplinary process to develop a reference laboratory for performing artists
