AI for Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation Therapy

At Xyonix, we build custom AI models that analyze your patient injury and body pose data to improve sports and rehabilitation therapy outcomes.

Xyonix can help you apply AI in sports and rehabilitation therapy contexts. AI can help in predicting and preventing injuries, as well as performing automated analysis to increase efficiency and decrease costs of rehabilitation progress.

Predict and Prevent Injuries

Physicians have long known that attributes like a patient’s age, body type, and type of injury are predictive of future chance for re-injury. High level attributes like these are not, however, the only key factors in predicting re-injury. Muscle strength, posture details, and level and type of play all play a role. Instead of following a playbook, we can help you build highly personalized models that predict chance of re-injury given a specific patient, where they are in the rehabilitation cycle, and what activity they are trying to return to.

Automatically Analyze Posture, Gait and Body Pose Rehabilitation Progress

Physical Therapists often assess and track a patients progress through various body poses over time. For example, for a patient recovering from an ACL reconstruction, assessing and improving their gait over time is essential in getting them to return to competitive activities. This is typically done by watching the patient as they walk and recording observations. Great strides have been made with AI based body pose estimation using just video. Much of this work can be automated so posture, gait and other body pose defects can be automatically detected and quantified. Progress relative to peers could be quantified with automated remedial actions recommended.

We at Xyonix are building health models that can make a real difference in sports and rehabilitation therapy. Interested in using AI to analyze your sports and rehabilitation related data? >> CONTACT US << and let’s dig in together.

Using AI Driven Video Metrics to Improve Soccer Performance

Professional athletes have long had the advantage of analysis from expensive body worn sensors. AI models, when applied to readily available video, however, offer much promise to more cost conscious amateur athletes. We ask the question, can we better an individual goalie’s chances of stopping a penalty kick with advanced AI?

Using AI to Improve Sports Performance & Achieve Better Running Efficiency

Can amateur athletes improve their performance using artificial intelligence and nothing more than a smart phone? As an AI practitioner and a dedicated runner, I decided to find out leveraging body pose estimation, an advanced AI technology that automatically generates a skeleton for people in each frame of a video.
