Dr Greenhalgh

Lead Biomechanist Founder

PhD Biomechanics MSc Biomechanics

MSc Data Science

Dr Greenhalgh leads the biomechanical assessment and orthotic design framework at PhysAnalytica. His work focuses on translating complex movement data into clear, practical outputs using pressure analysis, motion capture, 3D foot scanning and structured reporting.

His approach ensures orthotic design and movement analysis are driven by measured evidence rather than assumption, supporting clearer decision-making for patients and clinicians.

He has acquired specialization in treating pre and post operative knee conditions: ACL, PCL, Meniscus, MCL, LCL, knee replacement rehabilitation, bursitis and tendinopathy. His current research is focused on investigating Hamstring: Quadriceps activation ratio using surface EMG and Isokinetic Dynamometer in professional athletes and identification of knee injury risk

Vasant specializes in diagnosis and developing bespoke plans for prehab and rehab for shoulder conditions in athletic population and geriatric population. Since shoulder is not just a joint but a complex, it needs a complex expertise for functional diagnosis and treatment.

As an educationalist, he teaches Applied Human Biomechanics at Institute of Sports, University of Hertfordshire. His teaching focus is on kinetics and kinematics of lower body (hip, knee & ankle) in dynamic explosive movements.

​Studies Undertaken:

1. Investigating Hamstring:
Quadriceps activation ratio using surface EMG and Isokinetic Dynamometer in professional athletes and identification of knee injury risk.

2. Identification of tibial stress in running with barefoot, minimalistic footwear, and conventional shoes
In recreational athletes using force plate, motion capture system and accelerometer.

3. A compressive shoulder assessment strategies.

4. Tracking muscle activity of gluteal region and their impact on running mechanics: Kinematic study.

5. Chronic ankle instability in agility sports.
