Accessible, Accurate, Real-Time Biomechanics
In sports rehabilitation, clinical research, and human movement analysis, the demand for portable, reliable, and non-invasive biomechanical tools has grown exponentially. Professionals increasingly require solutions that move beyond static laboratory environments and complex infrastructures that limit scalability and real-world data collection.
Within this context, inertial sensors (IMUs) have become a key driver of innovation in biomechanical analysis, allowing practitioners to bring motion analysis directly into real-life environments such as the pitch, the clinic, or the patient’s home. This evolution has reshaped how movement data is captured, analysed, and applied across both clinical and sports settings.
Thanks to solutions like iSen, gait analysis and rehabilitation assessment are no longer restricted to clinical facilities or dependent on expensive optical motion capture systems. Today, professionals can carry out precise, fast, and comprehensive gait assessments using a fully portable system that fits into a backpack, without compromising data quality or measurement reliability.
This success story clearly demonstrates how inertial sensor-based motion capture is transforming the way professionals assess, treat, and monitor patients, particularly in gait analysis, rehabilitation, and clinical research, enabling smarter decision-making, improved outcomes, and truly data-driven interventions.
Technology Adapted to Every Clinical Need
iSen is a wireless motion capture system that uses inertial sensors (IMUs) to analyse human movement in real time. These sensors gather acceleration and angular velocity data to provide a detailed picture of gait patterns or sports movements.
Key advantages of the system include:
- Total Portability: The system can be used anywhere, from clinical settings to open spaces, without the need for cameras or fixed infrastructure.
- Flexibility: Sensor configurations are entirely customisable. From single-joint analysis to full-body studies, iSen allows for setups using between 1 and 18 sensors, tailored to the specific needs of each assessment.
- Synchronization and Accuracy: Sensor data is fully time-stamped and synchronised, maintaining high precision even at sampling rates of up to 400 Hz.
- Real-Time Visualisation and Analysis: The software provides a 3D skeletal model, with optional video integration, automatic event detection, and one-click professional report generation.
One of the most impactful applications of iSen has been in gait analysis. Professionals in physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and sports medicine have used the system to assess key parameters such as:
- Step length
- Foot-ground contact time
- Walking speed
- Knee flexion angle
Beyond its diagnostic capabilities, iSen offers robust tools for patient progress tracking. The reliability and repeatability of its measurements allow clinicians to monitor changes over time and confidently adapt treatments based on objective, quantifiable data.
Highlighted Use Cases
In sports rehabilitation, iSen has become an essential tool, used in post-surgical assessments, gait reeducation, and musculoskeletal injury recovery.
In clinical and research settings, the system has been applied in forensic studies, ergonomic assessments, and joint-specific evaluation protocols. Its ability to integrate with third-party devices, such as EMG systems or video cameras, makes iSen a comprehensive, modular, and scalable biomechanical analysis platform.
