Biomechanical function analysis system, motion-tracking
Definition
A mains electricity (AC-powered) device assembly designed to track and evaluate the movement of the human body or body segments for the purpose of obtaining graphical visualization and biomechanical analysis of the body (e.g., spinal or joint movements). The device can also be used to determine the extent of ataxia (failure of muscular coordination) and will typically be used in the study of sports/work/rehabilitation related mechanisms/tasks; it is not dedicated to gait analysis alone. It may include various components to achieve its purpose [e.g., markers, sensors, video cameras, image processors, and computers].
