0Inertial system for analyzing the movement XSENS is a system consisting of wireless IMU sensors placed on the body with straps / tapes. Each of the sensors includes a three-axis accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer. The system allows for wireless measurement of kinematic data of any movement with high accuracy in all three planes, in real time. Special software enables the acquisition, visualization and processing of data from wireless sensors. The system allows, among others, for measuring: position, velocity and acceleration of individual body segments in space, assessment of the position of the torso, pelvis, head and angles in the joints, assessment of the position of the center of body mass. The system is equipped with a video camera, so it is possible to synchronize the obtained results with the film.
Examples of applications of the inertial system for motion analysis:
- evaluation of the effectiveness of rehabilitation,
- quantitative assessment of movement,
- registration of movements for computer animations used in rehabilitation,
- athletes' movement assessment,
- optimization of sports training,
- detection of falls,
- assessment of the ergonomics of movement in the workplace, e.g. at workstations exposed to monotypic work movements,
- creating computer animations for computer games, films, medicine, etc.
We carry out our tests according to the client individual instructions. We’re open to determine the course of research for non-standard requirements.
