Frequently asked questions

What is EuMotus BodyWatch, and what does it do?
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.

What is the difference between motion capture and motion analysis?
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.
Why markerless motion capture?
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.
Where is the evidence on accuracy, reliability, and validity?
You can read up on the evidence performed by third parties in peer-reviewed journals and white papers on the evidence page.
How many body joints do you track?
Up to 26 joints in real-time.
What if the exercise I'd like to measure is not included in BodyWatch?
We have a free-run mode, where we record raw data, but do not perform any analysis.
What camera does EuMotus BodyWatch use?
What does the software help analyze?
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.
Who is EuMotus BodyWatch for?
EuMotus BodyWatch is markerless motion analysis software designed to be used by physical therapists.
Is EuMotus BodyWatch portable?
Yes. You can take down and set up the system in a few minutes.
