3D MOTION CAPTURE TECHNOLOGY

One of the first physical therapy practices in the region to offer Advanced 3D Motion Capture Technology, we get real-time insight on how your body truly moves. By analyzing joint movements, posture and functional patterns, we uncover the why behind injuries—not just the what. This technology also can assess any motion, from a running gait to a golf swing, helping improve sports performance and inform targeted training.

3D MOTION CAPTURE IMPROVES BALANCE AND RISK OF FALLS

Balance

  • Balance plays a role in all motion and activity. 
  • Improving balance can have a significant impact for athletes, aging adults and individuals with certain diseases.
  • Improving Balance improves independence, sports performance and more. 
  • Decreased balance can even play a role in chronic tightness or chronic pain.
  • Our 3D balance assessment captures not only the quality of your balance, but it captures the specific movement of your head and your joints as you are trying to balance. 
  • It shows us the motor patterns you use to try to maintain balance, which can better guide us in creating the best treatment plan to improve your balance. 
  • Our 3D technology can also be used for immediate biofeedback while working on techniques to improve your balance.

Falls Risk

  • As we age our risk of falls increases.
  • Falls significantly impact independence and health.
  • Our bodies' response time and our mechanical response to change in movement as we age slows. 
  • Our 3D system can objectively analyze your movement patterns.
  • We utilize gold standard tests with our 3D analysis to assess your risk for falls.
  • The data we capture in our 3D analysis can help guide your treatment.
  • Using the data captured in the motion analysis we can focus on deficiencies in your balance including strength, flexibility, movement patterns and vestibular response that are increasing your risk of falls.

3D MOTION CAPTURE TECHNOLOGY: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

  • What is advanced 3D motion Capture Analysis?

    It is the world’s first and most advanced Patented Markerless Motion Capture Analysis System. This licensed technology allows us to provide real-time biofeedback for how you truly move. Through this tool we capture objective data as we analyze over 40 joint ROM movements, posture, and functional movement and helping you improve the ability to move with ease. This tool also helps us to discover and treat "why" you have an injury and not just treat "what" you have as an injury. We can analyze any motion in your body whether it is running gait, a golf swing, or risk of falls or risk of musculoskeletal injury. Our system also uses advanced AI by analyzing research data on injury and correlating data results with the results of 3D motion capture.  We also utilize gold standard tests for injury risks and fall risks. This System is Vikon Validated which is the gold standard system used in clinical research.

3D Motion Capturing in Performance Sports Training: Helping our Competitive Athletes and Recreational Athletes

  • KAMS features 12 functional movements captured in 3D to provide accurate and objective movement scoring.
  • Taking only 3 minutes to complete and easy set-up, KAMS allows for objective assessment in any setting.
  • FPM Tool identifies regions of dysfunction, whether it's mobility/stability issues and the plane of motion allowing for targeted corrective exercise strategies, reducing the risk of injury.
  • Shareable visual reports aid in tracking client progress.
  • Monitor the recovery process of an injury with trend data and comparison reporting.

Functional Movement Screening (FMS)

  • The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) was designed to assess movement quality in individuals who are not in pain, identifying potential dysfunctions before they become injuries. It evaluates fundamental movement patterns, motor control, and the ability to perform basic movements without the influence of sport-specific skills. The FMS highlights areas of movement deficiency, uncovers limitations or asymmetries, and can ultimately be linked to performance outcomes. It was originally developed to assess athletes and determine readiness for higher-level activities.
  • The screen consists of seven movements that require a balance of mobility and stability. It’s a valuable tool for assessing both performance and durability in athletic and recreational activities—pain or injury is not necessary for it to provide insight. By identifying asymmetries or basic movement deficiencies, the FMS can explain why performance may have plateaued. At our facility, we combine this assessment with gait analysis to create a plan to correct these deficiencies and improve movement efficiency.
