Posture Screening System for Joint Injury Detection in Athletes Using Biomechanical Analysis

Abstract

This invention presents a cutting-edge posture screening system designed to identify potential joint injuries in athletes through advanced biomechanical analysis. By leveraging a combination of motion capture technology, AI-driven posture recognition, and pressure sensors, the system continuously monitors an athlete’s body alignment and joint movements during physical activity. The system detects abnormal postures, improper joint loading, and asymmetries in movement patterns that may predispose athletes to joint injuries, such as knee, ankle, or shoulder strains. Through real-time feedback and predictive analytics, the system provides coaches and athletes with personalized insights to prevent injuries, optimize performance, and enhance recovery strategies. The system is adaptable for use across various sports disciplines and can be integrated into training environments to monitor posture-related risks in real time, ultimately reducing the incidence of joint injuries and supporting long-term athletic health.
