“At Kinesics, we’re changing the way our industry approaches injury and pain. We don’t focus on the pain who has the person - we focus on the person who has the pain.”
Human Movement Screen
The Human Movement Screen, also known as the Kinesics Evaluation, is a full-body movement analysis that gauges an individual's levels of functional mobility, flexibility, and alignment. This screen serves as a safeguard against financial setbacks, operational challenges, and declining individual health. By leveraging the insights from this screen, Kinesics, in conjunction with the agency, can identify and address specific joint regions and individual movements susceptible to potential risks and functional limitations.
These identified risks, if unaddressed, precipitate injuries, thereby hampering health and performance. Our goals are for personnel to maintain optimal physical health and the agencies to benefit from reduced medical expenses, positively impacting the bottom-line budget. Flexibly designed, the Human Movement Screen can be seamlessly integrated into annual physicals, PT tests, or deployed as a specialized standalone assessment.
Operational Performance Testing
The Performance Readiness Program (PReP) is Kinesics’ solution for Operational Performance Testing. This program offers seven tests that assess balance, strength, power, speed, agility, and endurance, catering to candidates, cadets, and sworn responders. The program can be implemented in individual and group settings. The testing methods analyze performance data, grade and score based on criteria, and allow participating agencies to make data driven decisions by embracing a new era of optimized physical readiness. PReP tests can accompany or replace existing PT tests and can be implemented during annual physicals, PT Tests, or be used as a stand-alone assessment.
Human Movement Education
The Kinesics eLearning Academy and hands-on training combines self-paced online learning with practical application of the fundamentals of human movement. For First Responders, curricula includes instructor and participant courses to enhance the organization at every level.

Software as a Service
Kinesics technology platform is the central part of implementation of the Human Movement Screen. Our in-house developed software allows users to collect, analyze, and improve human movement. Kinesics Qualified Providers can assess any joint or body region using the Kinesics software tools. Our smart logic translates the body’s message into easy-to-understand visuals of movement metrics, muscle imbalances, and joint restrictions.
Our software gives you the visuals you need to understand pain, risk for injury, and performance limitations. Color coded graphs and images let you watch as the body improves. Regular screens validate progress and allow for immediate adjustments to a mobility plan.
Population MSK Health
Kinesics collaborates with teams and organizations to enhance member performance and minimize injury risks. Through our Advanced Data & Analytics, we provide unparalleled insights into performance constraints and potential team-wide risks. By blending qualitative and quantitative musculoskeletal health data, we discern prevalent trends within your group. Our team oversees the comprehensive process: pinpointing target segments, analyzing data, assessing risk tiers, and guiding informed team management decisions.
Beyond analytics, Kinesics offers patient navigation for members flagged at risk. As a proactive step, we direct these members to trusted providers in your network, ensuring a swift and effective path to recovery and workplace reintegration.
