MSK 360 Performance Assessment

Your Foundation for Optimal Performance

The MSK Performance Assessment is a one-on-one, comprehensive evaluation led by Dr. Justin Ham designed to measure your total-body musculoskeletal function with clinical-grade precision.

Built for athletes, especially golfers, it goes beyond a basic movement screen to uncover how your body performs, where it’s limited, and how those factors impact both performance potential and injury resilience.

What is the MSK 360 Performance Assessment?

The MSK 360 Performance Evaluation is a systematic method of evaluating the musculoskeletal system to identify limitations, impairments, or risk of injury. It assesses muscle strength, posture, movement patterns, range of motion, and coordination.

Our MSK Performance Assessment is a 90-minute, personalized movement assessment. Physical therapist Dr. Justin Ham utilizes advanced VALD Systems to obtain precise readings. The system scores your musculoskeletal function out of 100, translating results into a golf-inspired MSK Handicap Index. This comprehensive evaluation gives a clear roadmap to unlock your athletic potential.

For golfers, this assessment improves your golf training by pinpointing how your body influences your golf swing and overall golf performance. It identifies movement gaps that could limit power or consistency, ensuring your training aligns with your body’s unique needs.

MSK Performance Evaluation Categories and Tests

Our musculoskeletal evaluation analyzes key physical attributes to optimize your golf performance and prevent injuries. Tests include:

Strength & Power

Assessed via ForceDecks & Dynamo
  • Countermovement Jump (CMJ): Measures power output to boost clubhead speed and driving distance.
  • Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull (IMTP): Evaluates maximum strength for swing stability and control.
  • Grip Strength (Dynamo, both hands): Assesses overall strength, enhancing club control and swing efficiency.

Mobility & Movement Quality

Assessed via HumanTrak
  • Overhead Squat: Tests full-body mobility and control, critical for a consistent golf swing.
  • Hip IR/ER in Seated 90/90: Evaluates hip mobility, vital for rotation and injury prevention.
  • Trunk Mobility (flexion, extension, rotation, lateral flexion): Ensures core flexibility for swing power.
  • Shoulder Arc of Motion (flexion, IR/ER @ 90°): Golf-relevant shoulder health
  • Neck Mobility (flexion, rotation, lateral flexion): Supports head control, reducing strain during swings.

Stability & Balance

Assessed via HumanTrak & ForceDecks
  • Quiet Stand & Tandem Stand (HumanTrak): Measures postural stability for a consistent setup.
  • Single-Leg Stand & Jump (ForceDecks): Tests dynamic balance, essential for short game precision and injury prevention.

Postural Assessment

Assessed via HumanTrak
  • Standing Posture (Head, Shoulders, Spine, and Hip Alignment): Identifies alignment issues that impact swing efficiency and increase the risk of back pain.

MSK Performance Evaluation Scoring Criteria

Each test contributes a proportionate share to a total of 100 points. Scores are then translated to the MSK Performance Index, mimicking golf’s handicap system:
MSK Score
Handicap Tier
95–100
Plus Index (Elite)
85–94
0–5 Handicap (Advanced)
75–84
6–12 Handicap (Skilled)
60–74
13–20 Handicap (Developing)
<60
20+ Handicap (Needs Focus)

Suggested Programming and Re-Test

Maximize your golf performance with a tailored plan to address your musculoskeletal evaluation results. Recommendations include:
  • Retest Frequency: Every 10–12 weeks for objective tracking
  • Programming Duration: 8–10 weeks for measurable improvement, tailored to specific test deficits (e.g., mobility vs. power)

Who is the 360 MSK Performance Evaluation For?

The MSK Performance Evaluation is designed for those committed to enhancing their golf performance and physical resilience. This assessment benefits:
  • Golfers seeking to improve golf swing efficiency, boost clubhead speed, and enhance durability on the golf course.
  • Competitive athletes or active adults addressing musculoskeletal pain or movement restrictions to optimize golf training.
  • Anyone serious about optimizing long-term function, performance, and injury prevention through a tailored musculoskeletal evaluation.
Your Body Is the Foundation
If your body isn’t moving well, your swing—and your athletic potential—can’t reach its peak. The 360 MSK Evaluation identifies gaps in mobility, strength, and control, then provides a roadmap to address them.
