ORYX’s distinctive approach to assessing and analyzing movement
We recognize that movement is complex: it is constructed from multiple building blocks across various levels – from localized actions to global patterns.
Isolating one property of movement tells only a small part of the story, particularly when it’s only an output metric. Our analytical framework makes all this easy to understand, without resorting to oversimplifications.
Grounded in the fundamental principles of nature and advanced theories of motor control
Analyze the internal dynamics of movement at different scales, providing a zoomed-in view without ever losing sight of the bigger picture and its context.
This all is based on the fundamental laws of nature and theories of motor control, making it applicable on all kinds of people and cases in sports and therapy, from (elite) athletes to children and frail elderly.
The great benefits of on-body worn sensors
Markerless video capture systems, while popular, often miss subtle movements and lack the precision required for deep biomechanical analysis.
Our IMU-based system captures internal dynamics with superior accuracy, allowing us to detect even the smallest deviations and asymmetries. This precision is crucial for understanding how movements evolve and how best to train them.
Measuring stability and adaptability through entropy and variability
Variability isn’t just noise—it’s a reflection of how adaptable and resilient movement patterns are. We quantify this variability through entropy-based measures, giving us a concrete way to assess stability and adaptability in real-world contexts. The result? A more nuanced understanding of movement quality that goes beyond traditional metrics.
