Harbor-UCLA Medical Center’s new laboratory The Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, just welcomed their new Biomechanics Laboratory, equipped with a top of the line 8-camera system and force plate integrated with Clinical 3DMA. The biomechanics research team in the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will be using the system for gait analysis…

IMQ Prevención, in cooperation with STT Systems, has recently started a new and innovative ergonomic measurement method. IMQ Prevención studies the risks that come from physical load and its causes: activities related to manual cargo handling, repetitive movements or poor body posture. STT’s inertial sensors and iSen System provide real-time orientations (angles) as well as…

Myon AG, in cooperation the Sports Institute of the Technical University of Munich, recently carried out a series of ground-breaking tests in the field of ski jumping. Analyzing full-body motion has always been challenging due to the long distances covered by the athlete, including a considerably long flight time away from wireless networks. A very…

iSen, our motion capture system including inertial sensors and processing software, now includes a plugin for Unity, allowing users to stream animation data into this visualization engine in real time. Experience the character animation in a new way: full-body tracking, with no permanent installation and live visualization.

How is a running 3D analysis tool used in practice? It’s no secret that using a 3D system for running analysis will provide a great variety of biomechanical parameters, accurately and in real time. When dealing with runners, these systems help improving their technique, preventing injuries and assessing recovery. But how is a running 3D…

Tennis is a popular sport in many places and it is considered a highly technical discipline. Success requires a mix of player talent, good coaching, appropriate instruments or equipment and an understanding of certain aspects of sport science. Biomechanics is a key area in player development because all strokes have a fundamental mechanical structure and…

Erik Elvgren is an experienced animator and producer who works at the University of Virginia. He is behind the creation of “The Adventures of Cavman”, a short pre-produced video package on the big stadium’s big screen that shows Virginia’s football mascot in a virtual battle with the opposing team’s mascot, as a way to get…

An optical motion capture system is an extremely powerful tool for the professional into the motion analysis. It provides an accurate tracking of anatomical points, and if the right analysis protocols are used, the resulting data will help determine pathologies and assess the evolution of a person’s biomechanics. The Faculty of Physio Therapy of the…
