Biomechanical Analyses Under Real Conditions

Salzburg Research makes human movement patterns visible — directly on-site, in real time, and with maximum accuracy.

Whether in sports, rehabilitation, or the workplace, our analysis methods help to better understand human movement dynamics in order to provide targeted feedback and suggestions for improvement. Using body-worn sensors and edge AI, movement patterns can be accurately recorded and analyzed in both laboratory and real-world environments, such as horse riding, skiing, cycling, and running after work.

Maximum precision for real-time analysis

The measurement systems employed incorporate Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), which combine accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers. This combination enables the IMUs to track the movement, dynamics, orientation and direction of the person being measured with precision. The data is available in real time, allowing for immediate feedback.

These measurements provide an accuracy level that allows for scientifically valid on-site analysis of human movement, free from the limitations of a laboratory environment.

The advantages:

• Mobile and flexible: Measurements can be taken anywhere, whether on the ski slopes, horseback, or on a bicycle or motorcycle.
• Real-time feedback: Provides immediately usable feedback for training, therapy, and safety applications.
• High precision: Data quality that is close to laboratory standards — mobile, reliable, and scientifically validated.
• Clear results: Specific recommendations for direct practical application are generated using the measured values.

From data collection to practical insights

Salzburg Research specializes in combining sensor technology with intelligent software and scientific expertise. Our three-dimensional motion capture system provides precise data on dynamics, alignment, and stress in just seconds. We transform this data into practical insights using proven methods that can be used to improve athletic performance, prevent injuries, facilitate efficient rehabilitation, and enhance safety-critical applications.

Practical applications:

• Sport: Boosting performance with precise analysis and real-time feedback.
• Rehabilitation: Making progress visible and tailoring therapy to individual needs.
• Safety: Evaluating movement sequences and identifying risks at an early stage.
• Equestrian sport: Analyzing rider and horse, identifying common mistakes, and correcting them in a targeted manner.

The application scenarios shown demonstrate the software’s and sensor technology’s flexibility and scalability, as well as their wide range of potential uses.

Your partner for motion analysis

The combination of hardware, proprietary software development, and scientific expertise results in solutions that go far beyond mere data collection. Salzburg Research provides partners and customers with valid, practical, and actionable insights wherever movement needs to be analyzed. We provide valid, practical, and comprehensible analyses that can be applied directly in the workplace. In this way, we help improve understanding of human movement, enhance performance, boost safety, and promote health. Our work is underpinned by state-of-the-art technologies such as the Xsens motion capture system, which is integrated into our research and development processes and enhanced with additional sensors and evaluation methods.
