Delivering evidence-based motion assessment for better mobility and recovery
Understanding Musculoskeletal Pain in Saudi Arabia
Musculoskeletal conditions are among the most common causes of pain and disability worldwide – and Saudi Arabia is no exception. With rising awareness around physical activity, workplace ergonomics, and sports participation, more people are seeking long-term solutions that address the root cause of pain rather than temporary relief.
At MetaMotion™ Clinic in Riyadh, our approach to musculoskeletal care is founded on precision. We use 3D gait analysis and sensor-based motion tracking to transform how clinicians understand, diagnose, and treat movement dysfunctions – ensuring every plan is measurable, repeatable, and evidence-based.
What Is 3D Gait Analysis?
3D gait analysis uses multiple high-speed cameras and reflective sensors (powered by Vicon™ technology) to capture movement from every angle. This creates a digital, three-dimensional model of how your body moves – showing exactly how your joints, muscles, and bones behave during walking, running, or squatting.
This system measures key biomechanical data such as:
- Joint range of motion across the hip, knee, and ankle
- Stride symmetry and step timing
- Force and load distribution through the lower limbs
- Postural alignment and balance patterns
By analysing these parameters, our clinicians can identify imbalances, compensations, or inefficiencies that may be causing pain or limiting mobility – and then create a personalised treatment plan to correct them.
How It Works at MetaMotion™ Clinic
Each session at MetaMotion™ Clinic includes:
- Comprehensive assessment: A detailed review of your history, symptoms, and movement goals.
- 3D gait capture: Sensors are placed from hip to foot while you walk or run across our calibrated lab.
- Objective analysis: The system compares your movement data to validated control databases used globally in rehabilitation and sports science.
- Clinical interpretation: Our physiotherapists interpret the data and translate it into a clear, actionable plan.
Appointments typically last around 2 hours and include a 3D foot scan and a detailed digital report available in your secure patient portal.
Who Can Benefit?
- Individuals with chronic knee, hip, or back pain
- Patients recovering from joint replacement, trauma, or surgery
- People with movement-related pain unresponsive to standard therapy
- Athletes and active adults seeking injury prevention and performance optimisation
Whether you’re a patient looking for accurate diagnosis or a clinician seeking data to guide treatment, our 3D gait analysis delivers measurable value.
Evidence from Saudi Arabia
A 2023 study on rehabilitation trends in Saudi Arabia found that less than half of physiotherapists consistently use formal gait analysis tools, despite the clear benefits in improving diagnostic accuracy. Clinics equipped with objective motion systems reported up to 35% better rehabilitation efficiency due to improved treatment planning and reduced imaging costs.
MetaMotion™ Clinic is bridging this gap by offering world-class gait assessment services in Riyadh and Dammam, ensuring patients receive the same standard of care seen in leading international motion laboratories.
