The MOVEMENT ANALYSIS LAB was founded by Prof. Tommaso Leo and co-workers and the instrumentation and the expertise of the Lab’s staff took part in some European and National Projects, involved in clinical and research topics.
Actually is affiliated to Department of Information Engineering.
With the actual director, Prof. Sandro Fioretti, the laboratory is involved in experimental activities aimed at modeling and analysing the behaviour of Central Nervous System in motor control during static and dynamic posture and in projects concerning the use of Inertial Sensors Unit for human motion tracking and dead reckoning.
Movement Analysis Laboratory is equipped by an motion capture system (SMART-DX BOX + 32 analog ch, BTSBioengineering, Milan) that use eight digital cameras with powerful infrared illuminators (SMART-DX6000, 2,2 Mpixels, 2048×1088, 340 fps at full resolution) to capture motion in a large measurement volume [5m (l) x 3m (w) x 2m (h)] by guaranteeing accuracy in measurement. A set a reflective markers can be positioned on body subject to analyse motion or static and dynamic posture following specific and well established kinetic setup protocol.
The kinematics analysis is completed by the sincronised recording of motion captured by 2 cameras (VIXTA50, 2 Mpixel – 50fps) .
The Movement Analysis Lab is a equipped with a digital sensorised floor (INFINI-T total length 800 X 1800mm) composed by 6 dynamometric force plates (600 x 400mm). The modular platform system allos to measure reaction forces across its entire surface (also on borders), overcoming the limits imposed by traditional force plates.
The Lab has also a baropodometric system (P-WALK 600, [640 x 740 x 8mm] with a sensorised area 600×500) able to measure plantar pressure in static and dynamic phases. P-WALK supplies quantitative information on plantar support through the calculation of parameters such as foot contact area, maximum pressure, average pressure and center of pressure.
The Movement Analysis Lab is equipped also with a servo-actuated platform and a dedicated dynamometric forceplate for perturbed posture analysis.
The Movement Analysis Lab is instrumented by 20 channels Surface Electromyography device with 20 wireless probes for the dynamic analysis of muscle activity (BTS FREEEMG 1000, BTSBioengineering) .
The Lab has also a 16-channels EMG recording system (Step32, Medical Technology) for statistical gait analysis.
The technical staff of the Movement Analysis Lab uses an 8-Inertial Measurement System (IMU system, PIVOT, TuringSenseEUlab) and a IMU sensor (G-Walk) sincronized with the kinematic system to capture acceleration, angular velocities and orientation of body segments on which the sensors are placed.
