BoB Biomechanics

About BoB Biomechanics

Biomechanics of Bodies’ – in short: BoB – can analyze internal body loadings, energy expenditure, reaction force, joint contact force, and more. However, to round off effective analysis, BoB also requires Xsens motion data. BoB includes the following features:

  • Supports MVNX, BVH, CSV, C3D, TXT, motion capture files from Xsens Analyze (Link, Awinda)

  • BoB can calculate point position/velocity/acceleration, orientations and trajectories, body energy/power, velocity vectors, joint angles, ROM, joint torques, joint contact forces, GRF, muscle forces, lengths, contraction rates, and energy/power

Watch the tutorial to learn how to export MVN files from Xsens into BoB.
