The research question

What objective functional deficits remain before progression toward sport or high-demand professional performance?

A performance-readiness assessment after injury or surgery for athletes and high-demand professionals. It provides objective evidence to support, but not replace, clinical clearance decisions.

ParticipantsAthletes and physically demanding professionals recovering from injury or surgery.
Minimum sampleIndividual clinical assessment: N = 1. Research cohorts: sample size defined by the study design.
DurationTask battery depends on injury, rehabilitation phase and performance demands.

Technology configuration

Measurement follows the task

The technology path shown here is the approved structure for this service. The exact protocol is configured around the research question, environment and participant flow.

01 · CoreIMU + EMG

Movement mechanics, symmetry, activation timing and fatigue response.

Typical protocol · Health

How this study is executed.

The protocol below reflects the service definition developed for Neuro Garage. Final details are confirmed before execution.

01

Define injury history, current restrictions and target activity.

02

Select phase-appropriate bilateral and single-leg tasks.

03

Progress to hop, landing, acceleration or change-of-direction when authorized.

04

Quantify movement symmetry and neuromuscular control.

05

Report residual deficits and recovery trajectory.

Scientific configuration

The method follows the question

Technology is selected because it is scientifically appropriate for the research objective, not because a device must be used. Santiago configures the study scope, stimuli, participant flow and measurement path before execution.
