Motion analysis and biomechanics are constantly evolving. Clinical professionals, researchers, and sports performance specialists need tools that are not only highly accurate but also adaptable to their dynamic and demanding work environments. Today, we are proud to announce the official release of 3DMA 2026.0, the most comprehensive and robust update to our system to date.
Released on May 20, 2026, this new version is the direct result of months of research, development, and, most importantly, actively listening to our global community of users. In 3DMA 2026.0, we have introduced powerful hardware integrations, revolutionized the way data is presented, and fine-tuned the software’s internal engine to ensure flawless performance.
Below, we break down in detail all the new features, improvements, and bug fixes that make 3DMA 2026.0 an indispensable tool in your lab or clinic.
New Features: Innovation at the Service of the Professional
Integration with Delsys API (Trigno Centro)
One of the most recurring requests from the scientific and clinical community has been an easier way to integrate kinematic data with electromyography (EMG). In 3DMA 2026.0, we have taken a giant leap by adding native support for the Delsys API, specifically for Trigno Centro systems. This integration allows researchers and clinicians to perfectly synchronize muscle activation data with 3D joint kinematics. It is no longer necessary to rely on tedious post-processing steps to align signals; the workflow is now direct, clean, and extremely precise, allowing for a holistic neuromuscular analysis of the patient or athlete in real-time.
Fully Customizable Reports
We understand that every professional has their own style and that every patient requires unique attention. Until now, biomechanical data reports followed a predefined structure. With the new version, we have added a powerful report customization tool. Users can now choose exactly which graphs, numerical tables, and observations to include in the final document. Whether you need a one-page executive summary for a coach or a comprehensive twenty-page analysis for an orthopedic surgeon, 3DMA 2026.0 allows you to configure, save, and export templates exactly as you need them.
Linguistic Expansion: 3DMA Speaks Your Language
The 3DMA community is global. To facilitate the use of the system in different regions and reduce the learning curve for new technicians and students, we have added support for five new languages: French, German, Portuguese, Italian, and Korean. The entire interface, integrated help manuals, and generated reports can now be configured in these languages, joining the existing ones and democratizing access to high-end 3D motion analysis technology worldwide.
Complete Redesign of the Options Window
Usability is key. We have completely redesigned the “Options” window. The new layout is much more intuitive, clean, and organized by logical categories. This makes it much easier for system administrators to configure capture parameters, interface preferences, and license management in much less time, avoiding navigation through complex menus and improving daily workflow fluidity.
Pelvis Rotation Correction in Helen Hayes
The Helen Hayes protocol is a gold standard in Gait Analysis. However, accurate capture of pelvic kinematics has always presented technical challenges. In 3DMA 2026.0, we have implemented an improved algorithm for pelvis rotation correction during calibration. This advancement minimizes soft tissue artifacts and anatomical marker placement errors, providing much cleaner and more reliable transverse plane kinematic curves of the pelvis and hip—something fundamental for clinical decision-making.
Performance and Workflow Improvements
In addition to the new tools, our engineering team has optimized dozens of internal processes to make your user experience faster and more efficient.
Revolution and Unification in Bike Fitting
Cycling analysis requires pinpoint accuracy. In this update, we have incorporated specific critical measurements for Time Trial (TT) bike fitting. Aerodynamics and power transfer in TT cycling depend on very specific angles that 3DMA now measures natively. Furthermore, we have unified and documented all recent changes in the Bike Fitting module, creating an updated InSight example database integrated directly with 3DMA. This allows fitters to compare their cyclists’ positions with normative databases much more smoothly.
Precision in Calibration and the Spatial Environment
The reliability of 3D data depends on a perfect calibration. We have significantly improved the ground plane calculation. Now, the system intelligently uses the calibration bar height to establish a much more robust mathematical ground plane. This translates to height, stride, and spatiotemporal parameter measurements with a practically zero margin of error.
Smart Warnings and Data Security
Per-protocol 2D point coincidence warning settings have been added. This means the software will warn you in real-time if it detects that the cameras are confusing markers based on the specific rules of the clinical protocol you are using (whether walking, running, or cycling). On the licensing side, we have added the application version info to license server requests, facilitating network administration for large universities and hospitals.
Improved Visualization and Report Generation (EDDO)
For our users working with HH (Helen Hayes) Lower Train reports for EDDO, we have substantially improved the summarized report layout and optimized the representation of inverted graphs. The software now sets the “reference capture” numeric figures as the default option for comparisons, streamlining the process when comparing a “Pre” and “Post” test of a rehabilitation patient. We have also improved the user interface (UI) scaling support, ensuring the software looks perfectly sharp on 4K monitors and high-pixel-density laptop screens, notably improving text sharpness in the toolbar buttons.
Alongside all this, more than 15 additional improvements have been implemented in the graphics engine and memory management, making 3DMA 2026.0 an extraordinarily agile software.
Bug Fixes and System Stability
No software is free of minor glitches, but our goal is to get as close to perfection as possible. We have thoroughly reviewed the error reports sent by our users to apply strong solutions. In this version, we have fixed more than 74 minor and major bugs, ensuring the system won’t fail you in the middle of an important evaluation.
Interface and Graphics Fixes
- Cropped graphs: A frustrating issue where graphs appeared cropped in the Plots control has been resolved, now ensuring 100% visualization of the curves.
- Curve Visibility: We fixed a bug affecting the visibility of hidden curves in plots, allowing analysts to overlay and hide data with complete reliability.
- Webcams and Video Hardware: Multiple issues related to reference video cameras have been corrected. Specifically, we fixed a bug in selecting the webcam resolution and resolved the issue where the webcam window close button intermittently became non-functional.
- Advanced Options: The “Show Advanced Options” label now has corrected visibility and reacts properly to user clicks across all resolutions.
Fixes in Report Generation and Comparative Data
- Configuration Files: Fixed the critical “Unable to read comparative report configuration file” error, which prevented some users from generating progress reports.
- Tag Replacement: We solved an issue where dynamic report tags were not being correctly replaced by the patient’s name or specific session data upon PDF export.
- Numerical Data: Elements that were sporadically missing in the comparative numerics view tables have been restored and now display consistently.
- Multireport Functionality: The “Multireport” button, which under certain conditions appeared disabled by mistake, has been fixed and is 100% operational again.
Security and Reliability
We have reinforced internal security and software integrity by adding hash verification for resource files. This significantly improves security and ensures that protocol files or databases have not been corrupted, preventing unexpected crashes during the processing of mathematical models.
