MotionMetrix 3D Biomechanical Analysis

The MotionMetrix Advantage

Beyond 2D Video: 3D Biomechanical Analysis for Peak Performance and Injury Prevention.

The Limits of 2D Video Analysis

  • ▶ Single camera angles miss crucial movements in other planes (e.g., rotation).
  • ▶ Lacks true depth perception, leading to inaccurate joint angle measurements.
  • ▶ Cannot measure forces, joint loads, or ground reaction time.
  • ▶ Provides qualitative feedback ("it looks like...") vs. quantitative data.

Introducing MotionMetrix: True 3D Analysis

  • ▶ Utilizes a precision 3D camera to create an accurate model of your body in motion.
  • ▶ Captures every angle of movement in three dimensions: sagittal, frontal, and transverse.
  • ▶ Directly quantifies forces, joint loads, and energy expenditure.
  • ▶ Provides objective, data-driven insights into your unique running form.

Data You Can't See: Key 3D Metrics

2D Video vs. MotionMetrix 3D

Traditional 2D Video
  • ● Limited, single-plane view.
  • ● Qualitative, subjective feedback.
  • ● No force or load measurement.
  • ● Guesswork for key off-plane metrics.
MotionMetrix 3D Analysis
  • ● Complete 360° kinematic data.
  • ● Quantitative, objective metrics.
  • ● Precise force and joint load analysis.
  • ● Measures what the human eye can't see.
