Biomechanics Research
Measurement of body segment orientations and other kinematic data for biomechanics research, with biomedical applications is possible with the Xsens MVN and MTx kit solutions. MEMs-based inertial sensor technology can make lab-bound motion capture a thing of the past. Furthermore, subjects can be monitored in their natural environment.The Xbus Kit, MVN system and MTx sensors provide output variables such as direct three dimensional linear accelerations, angular velocities, and segment orientations. Users can create biomechanical models to suit their purpose, as well as utilize the Software Development Kit (SDK) to further develop data, as needed.
Ease-of-use
Download the software from the Xsens website and plug in the sensors, to visualize the sensor movement live on screen.
Wireless operation
A worry of biomechanical analysis is the impact of measurement systems on the subjects’ bodies, which is further complicated by cables around the floor of the laboratory. With Xsens systems, all data can be recorded wirelessly, via Bluetooth. Providing the benefits of camera capture methods, without being confined to a laboratory.
Synchronization with other systems
In the biomechanics world, we are often not asking one question, but want to know the influence of/on movement of other variables. Xsens systems can be synchronized with other systems facilitating this requirement.
Low-weight/low-power requirements
Using MEMs technology, the micro-machined sensors can be recorded for a minimum of 3 hours using standard AA batteries.
Flexibility of data manipulation
All Xsens data can be saved in standard ASCII format, allowing data to be read and manipulated in many other software environments.
