About the Institute

A classical academic ethos with contemporary scientific rigor.

We advance human movement science by uniting musculoskeletal and fascia mechanics, motor control, and sport-specific loading with force platforms, EMG, 3D motion capture, and wearable IMUs. Our methodological pillars include reproducible protocols, open science through our affiliated MMSx Journal, and multi-disciplinary collaboration across medicine, sport, and engineering.

  • Ethics & quality aligned with ACSM, ISB, ASB, NSCA, APTA, NATA.
  • Gold-standard educational pipeline and faculty mentorship.
  • Clinical & field translation with standardized RTP and load models.

Signature Capabilities

  • 3D kinematics & kinetics • EMG • Force plates • IMU validation
  • Movement profiling (NEEBAL, BMXStrength, BPIT 5-Line)
  • Technique optimization via AI and digital-twin simulation
  • Program design at scale: testing batteries, periodization, readiness

M.O.V.E. Protocol for for Musculoskeletal Pain Recovery: Advancing the Future of Rehabilitation Science

Impact on education, research, and clinical practice.

IIKBS’s participation in the MOVE Protocol study highlights its central role in the global movement science ecosystem. By providing the critical layer of biomechanical validation, the institute has helped to ensure that the study’s groundbreaking findings are built on a foundation of impeccable scientific rigor.

This research will be disseminated through the affiliated MMSx Journal of Movement Mechanics & Biomechanics, contributing to the open science mission shared by IIKBS and its strategic partners. The findings will also be integrated into the institute’s advanced curriculum, from its specialized diplomas to its Ph.D. and post-doctoral programs, training the next generation of researchers and clinicians in the latest evidence-based protocols.

The MOVE Protocol study is a powerful example of how multi-disciplinary, international collaboration can accelerate scientific progress. IIKBS is proud to have been a key scientific pillar in this endeavor, reinforcing its commitment to advancing human movement science through heritage research and modern clinical impact.
