SHOWMOTION

Transforming the way human movements are evaluated and measured

Show Motion™is a revolutionary tool that provides a comprehensive analysis to monitor motion patterns and related muscle activity. 

Through the use of inertial platforms and validated protocols for upper and lower limbs,Show Motion™  is the perfect tool for measure, record, segment, compare and report movements and provide a visual representation of the variables involved, highlighting underlying information and permitting an in depth analysis of the movement in real time.

With Show Motion™ you are able to:

  • Quantify the evolution of the treatment over time
  • Quantify the evolution of the treatment over time
  • Correlate results to expected outcomes
  • Identify alterations in movement
  • Identify compensatory strategies
  • Provide biofeedback input to understand and teach correct movements
  • Objectively understand the effectiveness of the treatment
  • Evaluate and compare treatment outcome

How it works?

Functional analysis is simple and totally guided, no expertise is required.

WEAR THE SENSORS

START THE SESSION

NOW MOVE

Place the sensors – move to perform a short calibration – the evaluation begins
The data is transmitted, analysed and saved – completing the session all in 10-15 minutes

Show Motion’s validated protocols make it possible to understand the kinematics of the scapula.
Specifically, it identifies how the scapula moves relative to the humerus.

It is possible to determine and describe important scapular variables, that have been difficult to measure until now, such as:

 

The anterior/posterior tilt

Upward/downward rotations

Protraction and retraction

Show Motion™ makes possible to measure and quantify scapular dyskinesias. The application of inter/intra operator have reported a RMSE < 4°, showing a strong reproducibility and effectiveness.

This chart shows the upward and downward kinematics of the scapula during the abduction of the shoulder in a healthy subject (grey) and in a patient with a rotator cuff disease (red). Note in the pathological patient the altered kinematics including lower mobility of the humerus and the total absence of control of the scapula.

A clinical gait analysis provides quantitative information that highlights and analyzes problems of posture, ambulation, load anomalies and muscular insufficiencies that cannot be measured by objective examination and video recording.

Show Motion™ performs this analysis using a validated scientific protocol. Our proprietary algorithms will automate the segmentation of movements and identify the various phases in the exact instant in which the alteration occurs. In a few minutes, the therapist can identify variation of knee, hip and foot angles and at the same time providing:

  • Time parameters and distance spaces such as: average stride, step, stance, swing, double support and single support time
  • EMG signals, if integrated
  • Balance variations

This report shows information that can be obtained through the execution of the “Time Up and Go” Test. The Software is able to detect differences that are most often difficult to see with the naked eye.
