Biomechanical Analysis

Revision as of 13:01, 11 February 2014

Introduction

Starting from version 2.6, iPi Mocap Studio includes iPi Biomech Extension.

iPi Biomech Extension is a convenient tool for in-depth biomechanical analysis on tracking data. It includes visualization of tracking data and its export to various formats. It can be used for:

• Gait analysis and rehabilitation
• Sports motion analysis
• Research in 3D human kinematics

Markerless tracking technology does not require clumsy suits, and work in real-life environments like regular office.

With iPi Biomech Extension you can: Get various metrics for selected bones, including Linear coordinate, velocity, acceleration Euler angles, angular velocity and acceleration Select convenient coordinate systems Linear: Absolute (relative to floor), Relative to parent joint, Relative to center of mass Angular: Absolute (relative to floor), Relative to parent joint Plot values of selected metrics Export bones motion data to file Tab-separated text (for Excel) MATLAB Export point clouds obtained from depth sensors to file PCD MATLAB

Note. iPi Biomech Extension requires separate license key, which you need to activate in addition to iPi Mocap Studio license key. 30-days free trial provided.
