Moven enables biomechanics researchers to capture human body posture and kinematics in a fully ambulant way. Inertial sensors directly measure accelerations and angular velocities with high accuracy and low noise, which can be used for computation of internal forces/momentums. The system uses an advanced articulated body model to provide the body posture and angles with high precision.

With Moven as your motion capture system, you are able to perform research on human subjects outside the traditional motion lab. The wireless system allows the subject to walk naturally and move around without spatial restrictions.

Because of the unique inertial sensor technology of Moven, which does not use markers, cameras or emitters, there are no problems with occlusion or shifting of markers. There is no need to palpate bony landmarks for marker placement either.

The results of the measurement can be observed in real time. This prevents the research to be delayed by cumbersome processing time and provides valuable feedback during the measurement. Moven is easy-to-use and no special education is required to make recordings.

With the entire measurement equipment being integrated in the Moven suit, the subject is ready for calibration within several minutes. Individual calibration procedures only take a few seconds. A range of calibration procedures are available to suit individual requirements of accuracy.

Universities and institutes around the world use Moven or its core technology (MTx and Xbus Master) for measurements of upper limbs, lower limbs (gait), back or balance.
