A spectral classification system for biomechanical alignment across static and dynamic states.
MMSx BALAM reframes alignment assessment from a binary "good/bad posture" model into a continuous spectrum — acknowledging that optimal alignment is dynamic, context-dependent, and governed by load distribution rather than aesthetic positioning.
The BALAM framework provides a graded classification system from Grade I (optimal load distribution) through Grade V (clinically significant compensatory loading patterns), enabling precise clinical communication, outcome tracking, and load prescription. It integrates directly with BPIT assessment output.
BALAM integrates directly with BPIT 5-Line assessment output: where BPIT maps movement across the body's tensional lines, BALAM grades the resulting alignment on a continuous spectrum, which in turn informs load prescription via MOLOCH and standardised reporting via BOST.
MMSx Authority welcomes kinesiology and physiotherapy partners interested in applying or validating the BALAM alignment spectrum across clinical and athletic populations. Engagement is voluntary, non-commercial, and contribution-based.
