Strong digital candidateRoadmap pathway
Whole body · Wave 2
Sport and return-to-activity programs
Activity-specific plans can translate strength, mobility, workload, and confidence into a graded return to the user’s chosen sport.
This pathway is part of the product roadmap and is not currently available as a Cost Plus PT treatment program.
Potential pathway scope
Use cases the product may support.
These are product and research categories—not a self-diagnosis list. A released pathway would still need to confirm that the person, symptom pattern, environment, and goals fit its exact approved rules.
- 01Return to running
- 02Cycling mobility and conditioning
- 03Golf mobility and rotation
- 04Tennis and pickleball conditioning
- 05Swimming shoulder conditioning
- 06Soccer knee and ankle prevention
- 07Basketball and volleyball landing preparation
- 08Baseball throwing preparation
- 09Dance mobility and balance
- 10Hiking, skiing, and snowboarding preparation
- 11Weightlifting technique progression
How the platform could help
Useful technology with bounded jobs.
Each capability must be validated for this pathway. Approval of one camera task, condition, or population does not authorize another.
Large-movement camera
A validated camera task may observe broad movements such as walking, squats, steps, transfers, range, or balance while preserving a not-observed result.
Hands-free voice
Voice can deliver setup, timing, concise cues, and bounded commands while captions and touch remain complete fallbacks.
Bounded adaptation
A versioned rules engine may choose only approved progressions, regressions, substitutions, holds, or stops inside the pathway.
Education and pacing
The app can provide approved education, activity modification, pacing, recovery expectations, and flare-up guidance.
Functional progress
The pathway can follow a repeatable life or task measure instead of relying only on pain or exercise completion.
Optional wearable data
Validated heart-rate, activity, or other device data may add context but cannot silently become a safety clearance.
Care ownership
Who and what the pathway still needs.
Return after significant injury or surgery requires appropriate clearance and pathway-specific criteria rather than a generic performance program.
Strong digital candidateExercise, education, repetition, and visible movement are central. Each condition still needs its own approved screen and protocol before release.
Camera boundary
Visible does not mean diagnosed.
Running, landing, lifting, and throwing analysis each require separate views and validation. One camera model cannot inherit approval across sports.
Required behaviorLow-quality or unsupported input must produce retry, manual mode, or not observed—never a normal result.
Before patient release
A pathway is more than exercise content.
Every family moves through its own clinical, evidence, technical, and operational approval. A later status change should update the catalog, not bypass these gates.
