Research
Research, framework & recognition
70+ peer-reviewed publications, five-plus randomised controlled trials, and a clinical framework in use across fifteen centres.
Framework
F-MATS
Functional Movement Analysis & Treatment Strategy — a clinical framework integrating biomechanical analysis, neuroplasticity principles, functional goal-setting and evidence-based intervention sequencing.
- F
Functional assessment
Real-world movement quality evaluated with validated outcome measures.
- M
Movement analysis
Kinematic and neuromuscular analysis identifying compensatory strategies.
- A
Approach determination
Evidence-based selection across manual therapy, neuroplasticity-driven exercise and technology-assisted rehabilitation.
- T
Targeted treatment
Patient-specific treatment built around measurable functional goals.
- S
Systematic progression
Data-driven progression with periodic outcome-measure reassessment.
In use at Manipal Hospitals Dwarka, all 15 APARC Health & Motion centres, and ShardaCare HealthCity — across stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's disease, orthopaedic and sports rehabilitation, post-surgical recovery and paediatric neurological conditions.
