Why researchers choose Xsens
Peer-reviewed, research-grade data
Capture outside the lab
Export to 3rd-party software
3rd-party hardware integration
Lab-quality data beyond the lab
Capture lab-quality kinematic data anywhere: accurate 3D joint angles, segment positions, and detailed body accelerations, all without needing a lab. Measure at the lab, on the sports field, or outdoors, whenever you need.
Our sensor-fusion algorithms maintain high accuracy even in magnetically disturbed environments, and our outputs are regularly validated through peer-reviewed research.
Custom-built research software
Xsens Analyze provides rich kinematics data for research, including joint angles, segment orientations, range of motion, gait timing, step length, step width, symmetry metrics, and task-specific movement strategies.
Xsens Analyze integrations
Live stream or export your motion capture data seamlessly into your biomechanics, ergonomics, and analysis software packages
