Innovation in Physiotherapy Diagnosis & Intervention – Motion and Movement Analysis by Machine Biomechanics
A new benchmark in the field of physiotherapy for diagnostics and intervention is through the non-invasive methods like gait analysis by motion picture. There’s a lot of software available in the market and we found accuracy in picture and analysis in Simi Reality Motion System. Aligned with that, MAHSA University shows a new path for students of Physiotherapy and Sports Science on how to capture motion using Motion Analyzing Simi Machine with hybrid technology.
Motion Analysis Biomechanics:
Most physiotherapy assessments normally analyze joint motion in different degree manually and it’s always externally and consistently used to face lot of errors in assessment. However, in motion analysis through the Simi Machine, it shows the accuracy of motion where it is restricted and demonstrates angulation variation.
Its Characteristics
In its system, it has features like three motion capture, 2D Gait analysis, 3D Gait analysis, markless 3D motion tracking, marked 3D motion tracking, and hybrid 3D motion capturing. This system is fully integrated motion tracking and powered by software. It will be helpful for educators, sports coaches, researchers, biomechanics and others as they are able to track, stream and give output accurately when using this system. It is so precise and is opt to utilize for getting reliable data.
In addition, it can consume all possibilities of Simi Motion regarding data acquisition namely force plates, kinematics combined high speed video, EMG, pressure, data processing, and data analysis. Furthermore, this system has two unique features of technology marker-based and marker less. It also has a hybrid variety which is very useful for analyzing motion and movement.
Roles of SIMI-Gait analysis and Motion Capture in Sports
This infrastructure will definitely improve sports technique and angulation whereby kinetics and kinematics of sports persons are measured through data. In addition, it would also be able to use to help prevent sports injury due to faulty posture and motion.
This picture shows our Research Team during their learning process on how it can be beneficial for our students and researchers of Physiotherapy and Sports Science Department. The knowledge and practical skills exposed will develop our young researchers to emerge out of box to think.
