Capturing motion and musculoskeletal dynamics has always been a challenge. Demand for human movement data is ever expanding, both in controlled laboratory settings where accuracy and repeatability are essential, and outside the laboratory where portable or wearable equipment is required. It is therefore crucial that technologies adapt.
This one-day seminar will review cutting-edge technologies for evaluating the motion and musculoskeletal kinematics and dynamics of patients, and will explore new opportunities for clinical measurement that are compatible with current needs. Key industrial and academic speakers will highlight the application of techniques to specific clinical and technical challenges.
- Identify key technologies for an application area
- Make contact with other researchers, vendors and associations
- Keep up to date with the state-of-the-art in motion and dynamics sensing
- Learn the latest techniques to improve existing technology applications
- Appreciate how to match technologies to applications
- Improve your knowledge of the methods for assessing skeletal kinematics and dynamics
- Hear how world-leading centres combine multiple measurement systems
- Find out about emerging motion and force sensing technologies
- See how real-time feedback creates new healthcare technology opportunities
- Understand how skin movement affects motion measurements and how to use new techniques to minimise its impact
- Find collaborators for future projects
Clinical biomechanists, orthopaedic surgeons, podiatrists, physiotherapists, audiologists, neurophysiologists, sports biomechanists and biomechanical engineers. This event will also be of interest to those who work in motion analysis centres (NHS and private), biomechanical research facilities (academic and private), motion analysis equipment manufacturers, sensor manufacturers and orthopaedic manufacturers.
