Electromyography, or EMG, is also quite common to find among the hardware found in biomechanics labs. However, learning how to use EMG data is not always covered. In this chapter, we show an example of processing steps that could be performed on EMG data.
One of the most common pieces of equipment in a biomechanics lab is the force plate. When synchronized with kinematic data from a motion capture system, in Visual3D it is very easy to obtain joint kinetics. However, force plates can also provide standalone data as shown in this chapter.
As we report data, we often find that we need additional biomechanical parameters and events in order to properly communicate the data. In this chapter, we show you how to use the pipeline to assign tags to files, switch active files, and find events from graph minimums.
Beyond saving time, processing your data and performing calculations should be done in the same way for every data set in a project. Using a pipeline ensures that the series of calculations is done in the same way every time as it does not depend on user input. In this chapter, we show you how to set up the processing steps and how to perform biomechanical calculations in an automated way.

Enjoyed offering a Visual3D workshop at the Qualisys User Group Meeting in June of 2022. It was a great way to quickly show how to build a biomechanical model and a pipeline in 20 minutes.
An essential part of reporting data is the inclusion of numerical parameters. Particularly when providing data that needs to be interpreted at a glance, many biomechanists choose to include specific numbers. In this chapter, we show you how to calculate some basic metrics, and then how to add them to a table.
