3D Motion Capture System For Human Movement

涉及运动控制和肌肉骨骼功能的潜在机制是复杂的，仍然是一个活跃的研究领域。萨斯喀彻温大学的平衡与运动生物力学（BBAM）实验室是一个专业的研究空间，支持一系列跨学科的研究项目，探索人类运动、运动控制和肌肉骨骼功能的复杂性。它容纳了一套工具，允许复杂的测量来表征人类生物力学和运动控制。BBAM实验室由dr。Lanovaz和Oates是步态和其他运动应用的实验运动捕获和分析专家，在该领域拥有40多年的综合经验。****** BBAM实验室的核心研究技术是3D动作捕捉系统。该系统使用专门的摄像机跟踪放置在身体上的反射标记，使研究人员能够准确地记录任何任务中人体运动的细节。目前的BBAM实验室动作捕捉系统已经接近其生命周期的终点，需要进行更换和升级。****** 3D运动捕捉系统对于BBAM实验室支持的创新研究项目至关重要。Lanovaz博士的研究由nserc资助，使用实验运动数据，结合反作用力和肌肉活动的信息，开发肌肉骨骼系统的计算机模型。这些模型提供了运动过程中不能直接测量的肌肉和关节力的重要估计。奥茨博士利用站立和行走时全身运动和肌肉活动的实验信息，研究人体各种感觉系统如何协同工作以支持平衡控制，并开发可能改善平衡的新工具。****** 3D运动捕捉系统是研究复杂人体运动的重要工具，对培训技术人员至关重要。它将通过博士的创新研究支持新知识的发展。Lanovaz和Oates。该设备还允许来自不同专业领域（包括工程和医学）的许多其他nserc资助的研究人员进行研究。新的、升级的3D动作捕捉系统将保持BBAM实验室在培训学生和为他们未来在学术界或工业界就业做好准备方面的典范记录。这台设备是绝对必要的，可以让BBAM实验室无缝地继续其势头，并推进其所有重要的研究工作。*****

The underlying mechanisms involved in movement control and musculoskeletal function are complex and remain an active area of study. The Biomechanics of Balance and Movement (BBAM) lab at the University of Saskatchewan is a specialized research space that supports a range of interdisciplinary research programs exploring the intricacies of human movement, motor control, and musculoskeletal function. It houses a suite of tools that allows sophisticated measurements to characterize human biomechanics and motor control. The BBAM lab is co-directed by Drs. Lanovaz and Oates, experts in experimental motion capture and analysis for gait and other movement applications, with over 40 years combined experience in the field. ******The core research technology in the BBAM lab is the 3D motion capture system. This system uses specialized cameras that track reflective markers placed on the body and allows researchers to accurately record details of human movement during just about any task. The current BBAM lab motion capture system is now nearing the end of its life cycle and needs to be replaced and upgraded.******The 3D motion capture system is essential for the innovative research programs supported by the BBAM lab. Dr. Lanovaz's NSERC-funded research uses experimental motion data, combined with information about reaction forces and muscle activity, to develop computer models of the musculoskeletal system. These models provide important estimates of muscle and joint forces during movement that cannot be measured directly. Dr. Oates uses experimental information about full body movement and muscle activity during standing and walking to investigate how various sensory systems in the human body work together to support balance control and to develop novel tools that may improve balance. ******The 3D motion capture system is an essential state-of-the-art tool for studying complex human movement and vital for training skilled personnel. It will support the development of new knowledge through the innovative research of Drs. Lanovaz and Oates. This equipment also permits research by a number of other NSERC-funded researchers from different areas of specialty including Engineering and Medicine. The new, upgraded 3D motion capture system will sustain the BBAM lab's exemplary record of training students and preparing them for future employment in academia or industry. This equipment is absolutely necessary to allow the BBAM lab to seamlessly continue its momentum and advance all of its important research endeavors.*****
