Motion Analysis Tools

The Center for Human Performance utilizes 3D optical passive motion capture to quantify kinematics (geometry of motion) and kinetics (forces that cause or change motion) of human movement. The motion analysis system consists of 8 Eagle Digital cameras, which allow for capture of up to 500 frames per second at full resolution. In addition, the Center employs 4 floor mounted force platforms that measure the impact or ground reaction forces caused by the foot striking the floor during the activity. A dual-processor workstation integrates the entire system in real-time, resulting in an instant capture of the athlete's motion and forces.
