Maximizing Golf Performance (Part 1):
Analyzing Swing Mechanics with Plantar Pressure Mapping Technology
In the initial webinar of XSENSOR Technology's series on Maximizing Golf Performance, we explore the value of using in-shoe plantar pressure mapping insoles as a powerful tool for performance coaches and physiotherapists to analyze and treat golf swing mechanics. Like XSENSOR's state-of-the-art Intelligent Insoles, in-shoe plantar pressure mapping insoles provide a unique perspective on movement patterns, enabling practitioners to assess clients' abilities to generate and control power, utilize proper body mechanics, and maximize their performance. Plantar pressure mapping insoles offer unparalleled insights by visualizing weight shifts, power generation, and loading throughout the golf swing.
The webinar begins with a musculoskeletal screen to identify a client's mobility and stability strengths and limitations. It is followed by a comprehensive swing analysis using the Intelligent Insoles and other complementary technologies. These advanced tools enhance our ability to guide clients toward improving their swing, maximizing performance, reducing pain, and prolonging their playing years.
Given the complexity of the golf swing, which requires coordinated control of the lower extremities, trunk, and upper extremities, tracking weight and force during the swing offers clients an advantage that no other system can replicate.
