Motion capture systems: Revealing the secrets behind movement
Understanding movement is about more than just measuring angles and forces. Our technology captures the essence of how movement emerges by analyzing the internal dynamics and coordination of muscle synergies.
This approach provides a deeper, more accurate understanding of movement quality and performance, allowing us to quantify movement quality, stability, and adaptability
Why we choose to measure kinematics, over force or muscle activity
Kinematics reveals how and why movements happen by analyzing motion patterns like joint angles, rotational speeds, and timing. Unlike force-based metrics that only measure outcomes, kinematics provides precise insights into how movement emerges and its quality, helping us identify inefficiencies, refine techniques, and enhance performance and resilience.

Simplifying complexity: From raw data to collective variables​
Modern motion capture system generates vast amounts of data, which can often feel overwhelming. Our systems simplify this complexity by consolidating metrics into a few collective variables that represent the key aspects of movement quality.
This not only makes the data actionable but ensures that practitioners can connect the analysis directly to interventions, whether in training, rehabilitation, or performance optimization.
Wearable sensors: Moving beyond observation and markerless systems
Conventional methods of analyzing movement, such as observation by the naked eye or markerless video systems, often fall short of capturing the full picture of human motion. Naked-eye analysis relies on subjective interpretation, while markerless systems, though more advanced, are limited to fixed environments and often miss the finer details of movement dynamics.
Wearable IMU technology ensures that every assessment delivers meaningful, actionable insights—no matter where or how it’s performed.
Ecological validity: Bringing real-world insights to practice
True movement analysis must reflect ecological validity—the conditions in which movements naturally occur. With our portable motion capture system, you’re not bound to a laboratory or a fixed setup. Test athletes and patients in their natural environments—on the pitch, during practice, or wherever performance truly happens.
This flexibility ensures that the data you gather is not only accurate but also contextually relevant, giving you actionable insights into movement under the conditions that matter most.
