Wearable technology allows to capture data on the field, allowing new kinematics capture scenarios: interacting with the subject (for example by mobilization), running outside, going upstairs/downstairs, working at the desk, pitching on the field, walking along tens of meters.

This project will provide little by little new sets of motion data, initially mainly kinematics, which can be useful in research for several reasons:

1) explore kinematics of complex movements

2) explore new simulation opportunities

3) concentrate your time (not your attention of course) more on simulation and data interpretation rather than capturing kinematics

4) enhance your available data sets for running Opensim simulation

5) discuss and share ideas around new motions to be captured, new scenarios where you need simulation

Data will be mainly provided applying the measurement protocols called ISEO and OUTWALK published on Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing in 2008 and 2010.
