GPS technology and integration with inertial technology

GPS technology and integration with inertial technology Global positioning systems (GPS) have become so integrated in our lives that it is almost in everyday practise, whether it’s finding out how to drive to a mates, or calculating how far you’ve run during your daily exercise session. It is one of those technologies that we don’t […]

What causes ACL injuries

What causes ACL injuries The ligaments of the knee serve a number of mechanical functions to help constrain the joint’s motion within its defined range. They also work in partnership with the muscles and articular surfaces in transmitting loads across the joint. The anterior cruciate ligament or ACL is one of the four major ligaments […]

3D motion analysis of a curler during delivery off the starting blocks

3D motion analysis of a curler during delivery off the starting blocks Here we perform 3D motion analysis of an elite level curler as he performs his delivery from the starting block. Motion was recorded using an inertial motion capture suit (Xsens). Analysis performed by Principia Technology  https://youtu.be/UAxtifMLhrs

Inertial Measurement Units and Human Movement

Inertial Measurement Units and Human Movement Over the last decade, we have seen a huge influx in the use of wearable technologies, from wristwatches to wearable devices, creating vast amounts of data on movement. When we define movement, we are essentially referring to motion and require ways to both describe it, and more importantly to […]
