Real PT clinics that cater to cyclists provide dynamic bike fit by pairing a Computrainer, Dartfish motion analysis software, and adjustable components with a professional dynamic assessment from a certified, knowledgeable orthopedic physical therapist.



This comprehensive dynamic fit typically takes about three hours and includes a physical therapy assessment, a static bike assessment, and a dynamic assessment.




Physical Therapy Assessment:

A licensed physical therapist takes goniometric measurements of various joint angles to objectively assess flexibility, muscle strength, and range of motion. The critical data from the assessment is used to create an individualized plan of treatment. Sports-specific goals and complete medical history of existing orthopedic conditions are considered.



Static Bike Assessment:

The static bike assessment ensures that the human machine and the cycling machine are in sync. This process assesses the biomechanics of the body and allows for accurate mechanical adjustments of a variety of components of the existing bike. An appropriate fit provides for a natural, safe alignment that relieves back, knee, neck, shoulder, wrist, hip, and ankle pain.



Dynamic Analysis:

The dynamic analysis captures the body in motion through detailed, real-time videos using sophisticated Dartfish software. See your body in motion like never before with overlays of vectors and angles. A complete analysis of your biking style reveals how various aspects of your unique movements interact with the forces applied during cycling. Next, the CompuTrainer is used to assess power, pedaling efficiency, speed, heart rate, and cadence. Data from the Dartfish software and the Computrainer provide a complete, simultaneous assessment.
