Induced Acceleration Analysis for Rehabilitation

描述（由申请人提供）：康复领域面临的一个主要挑战是了解身体损伤，功能限制和残疾之间的关系。功能性运动分析是解开这些秘密的关键。 C-Motion的Visual 3D临床运动分析软件集成了三维运动学和逆动力学分析，并通过广泛的数据报告和可视化工具对这些技术进行了补充。Visual 3D满足了患者护理专业人员的所有传统需求，他们需要一个低成本、易于使用、多功能的软件包，能够分析各种功能性运动任务。该SBIR项目的目标是将感应加速度分析和相关的功率流分析作为C-Motion Visual 3D软件的一个组成部分，使这种新的分析可作为临床研究工具。我们不知道有任何临床运动分析软件的商业供应商能够执行感应加速度和功率流分析。扩展Visual 3D软件以包括这些技术的影响将在于提供运动障碍分析的创新，最大限度地提高复杂分析技术的效率以及不同诊所和研究机构之间数据解释的一致性。在第一阶段，我们将开发一个运动捕捉为基础，诱导加速度和功率流分析的基础上计算的净关节力矩在Visual 3D软件。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A major challenge facing the rehabilitation field is to understand the relationship(s) between physical impairments, functional limitations and disabilities. Functional movement analysis is a key to unlocking these secrets. C-Motion's Visual3D clinical movement analysis software incorporates three-dimensional kinematics and inverse dynamics analyses and supplements these techniques through extensive data reporting and visualization tools. Visual3D meets all of the traditional needs of patient care professionals who require a low-cost, easy-to-use, versatile software package that is capable of analyzing a wide range of functional movement tasks. The objective of this SBIR project is to implement Induced Acceleration analysis and the related Power Flow analysis as a component of C-Motion's Visual3D software to make this new analysis available as a clinical research tool. We are not aware of a commercial vendor of clinical movement analysis software that has the capability of performing an Induced Acceleration and Power Flow analysis. The impact of expanding the Visual3D software to include these techniques will lie in providing innovations in the analysis of movement disorders, maximizing the efficiency of sophisticated analysis techniques and consistency in data interpretation between different clinics and research institutions. In Phase I we will develop a motion capture-based, Induced Acceleration and Power Flow analysis based on the net joint moments calculated in the Visual3D software.
