MAT Functional Assessment (Movement Assessment Tool)
Overview
MAT is a structured movement screen that identifies asymmetries and movement faults that increase injury risk or limit performance.
Common Injuries or Challenges
Asymmetrical loading, mobility deficits, poor motor control
Recurrent niggles tied to movement faults
Assessment Approach
Comprehensive movement battery across squat, lunge, hinge, single-leg and rotational tasks with objective scoring to pinpoint deficits.
Rehab & Return to Sport Plan
Individualised corrective exercise plan targeting identified deficits, progressive integration into sport-specific movements, and re-testing to demonstrate improvement.
