About this course

This highly practical course teaches not only the principles of biomechanics but also how to set up a motion capture system, conduct subject trials, and analyze the processed data. For users of all backgrounds!

Dan Bassett, a certified Visual3D™ developer and trainer who has been working in research and clinical biomechanics since 2001, covers the following topics in this course:

Practical motion capture training
How to set up, position, and calibrate the camera system

How to apply lower-body marker sets

How to acquire motion capture data

How to verify data was collected correctly

How to export the data for processing

How to troubleshoot basic motion capture issues
Applied biomechanics training
A brief history of motion capture biomechanics

The key principles of biomechanics

Applying the scientific theory in a practical way

Techniques for measuring joint movements

What gait analysis is and how to do it

Using biomechanics in sport performance

Processing motion capture data

Analyzing the processed data

Creating a report from the data analysis

We recommend that you have your own copy of Visual3D so that you can follow along throughout the course while also going through Visual3d Basics and Visual3D Expert Builder. If you do not yet own a copy of Visual3D, we can help you out!
