The forceline can be used to make adjustments to a prosthesis for better performance AMTI Force Plates . Motion Analysis System . The system, which is unique in the U.S., allows for simultaneous, bilateral, three-dimensional capture of motion using infrared lights and special sensors. It is an active marker system, but does not use encumbering wires. Furthermore, it allows almost instantaneous data processing which can be reviewed before patients have gathered their belongings and are ready to leave.
Patients can actually see the computer-animated figure of themselves walking.
A subject is shown instrumented for motion analysis. The various wands and straps have miniature infrared lights attached to them which are tracked by sensors as the subject walks. Note, the cable shown is due to simultaneous EMG collection. This is a sample animation that our system can generate. Note the blue bar is time synchronization between all images.
