System for calculating body movements (speed and acceleration of segments and joint angles) and the centre of mass in 3D.
Sport, Health and Ergonomics
It makes it possible to determine whether body movements are correct from a sports performance perspective or whether they exhibit alterations from a health perspective.
In sport, this tool is used to improve movement efficacy; in healthcare, it is used to diagnose neurological diseases and diseases of the locomotor system, and also to assist with recuperation and rehabilitation from such diseases.
This tool is the gold standard in biomechanics as a means of studying segmental movements in 3D. It has the advantage of being completely innocuous in relation to the movement, that is, it does not alter its performance. It is a technique that is used in both sport and healthcare.
