Motion capture refers to the quantification of movement - knee flexion, shoulder ROM etc. Motion analysis immediately follows motion capture, and involves reviewing movement data, and extracting insights from a patient's movements. Tradtionally, a motion capture system requires a PhD in biomechanics, and multiple hours to process movement information.
At EuMotus we've negated the need for complex equipment and training by minimizing the need for difficult setup and intense post-processing. EuMotus BodyWatch allows clinicians to analyze patients in as little as a couple of minutes.
Motion analysis is now accessible for the clinical setting.
Markerless motion capture strikes a balance between speed and accuracy. It is more accurate and reliable compared to unaided visual observation, and goniometry. Markerless motion capture scores well in accuracy compared to traditional motion capture systems, and takes less than half the time to operate. Markerless motion capture makes motion analysis finally accessible for the clinical setting.
EuMotus BodyWatch is a makerless motion capture and analysis tool designed for the physical therapy clinic.
The clinician gets their patients to stand in front of the camera, and perform a few exercises. The clinician then uses objective movement data in AROM, (a)symmetry, and problematic movement patterns combined with video to double check their intuition with quantified evidence, and better engage their patient.
Running a movement screen takes as little as two minutes, and is dependent on the number of exercises prescribed.
Currently, our customers use EuMotus BodyWatch to enhance their assessment protocols and client experience. They use our technology’s data-driven methodology and intuitiveness to educate and easily communicate with their clients about their functional health, and engage and excite them throughout the treatment process.
Using specialized algorithms driven by expert knowledge, BodyWatch automatically creates a concise movement analysis report, which includes measures of range of motion, stability, symmetry, and likely muscle imbalances. This report can be used to not only improve the assessment procedure but also track progress of recovery and performance over time.
You can read up on the evidence performed by third parties in peer-reviewed journals and white papers on the evidence page.
2D video footage is qualitative and cannot be used to accurately measure multiple body angles. Most 2D video systems require significant work to get any data out (e.g. manually identifying joints, drawing lines, etc).
EuMotus BodyWatch automatically pinpoints accurate body movement data with little to no work required from you, thanks to our powerful 3D camera and algorithms.
