A Troy University football player undergoes testing with the DorsaVi system at the university on Wednesday. The system measures certain movements and determines if certain athletes are more prone to injuries than others.
As odd as it sounds, those activities could eventually help the Trojans avoid injuries and even improve their athletic performances.
The Trojans football program is one of the first few U.S. college units to utilize DorsaVi, a “cutting edge” movement analysis system, said Trent Nessler, national director of sports medicine innovation for Select Medical. Select Medical is the parent company of Champion Sports Medicine, the Trojans’ long-time athletic training and sports medicine provider.
