Early last year, we captured a baseline gait analysis for this 15-month-old before introducing custom SMOs—looking at foot pressure, movement patterns, and muscle activity.

Now, after 9 months of use, we repeated the same assessment. Using our pressure walkway and EMG sensors, here is what we found:
Walking looks more natural.
Balance is more consistent.
Steps are longer and more confident.

Our Report shows:
• A smoother heel-to-toe progression
• More consistent foot loading
• Less need for compensation
• Stronger, better-timed push-off

Even muscle activity has changed—less overcompensation, more coordination.

It’s a great example of why having that initial baseline matters. You’re not guessing—you can actually see the progress.

Pitching is a full-body movement.

Changes in stride, trunk rotation, and shoulder position all influence how force is transferred—and where stress builds up. Measuring those patterns is key to keeping athletes performing longer.

Great pitching comes down to how energy moves through the body, from the ground up, in the right sequence at the right time. It starts from the ground and flows through a precise sequence: pelvis → torso → elbow → shoulder.

When everything flows together, you get more velocity with less effort.

Early activation really is everything.

After an injury, that mind–muscle connection fades quicker than you’d think, and that’s where EMG biofeedback helps a ton. It lets you actually see your muscle firing in real time, so you can focus on getting the quad, especially the VMO, to turn on the way it should.

Those small, intentional contractions might not look like much, but they’re what set you up for real strength later. 🧠➡️🦵

How far did they move? How fast?

With the Translation Toolbox in MR4, IMU data can be converted into simple metrics like speed, distance, displacement, and jump height to help measure movement and track progress.

From jump testing to walking and running analysis, it’s an easy way to turn motion data into insights you can use.

Spring training is the perfect time to fine-tune the details of an athlete’s swing ⚾

With Ultium Motion sensors and force plates, coaches and clinicians can see exactly how an athlete moves during a swing, throw, or strike. Motion capture shows how the body segments move and sequence together, while force plates reveal how the athlete loads the ground to generate power.

Instead of guessing what’s happening, you can measure it.

Symmetry ≠ optimal movement.

In this IMU lab, students move beyond simple left vs. right comparisons to measure joint angles, calculate symmetry indices, and uncover hidden movement differences.

Professors get a lab that runs in a single session, encourages discussion, and turns movement analysis into real data students can interpret.

EMG biofeedback turns muscle activity into something you can actually see.

In our recent virtual demo, we demonstrated how the Noraxon Biofeedback App makes it easy to visualize muscle activation, guide exercises, and give patients or athletes immediate feedback during movement.

If you couldn’t attend live, the full session is now available on demand.

Better ergonomic decisions start with better data.

Noraxon’s Ergonomics Toolkit helps turn movement into objective ergonomic insights using synchronized 3D motion capture, EMG, force, and pressure data.

Built-in assessments include:

• NIOSH Lifting Equation – evaluate lifting task risk
• Liberty Mutual Manual Material Handling – assess push/pull and lifting limits
• RULA – rapid upper limb posture assessment
• REBA – full-body posture risk analysis
• Lumbar Disc Compression Analysis – estimate spinal loading during tasks

This helps teams better understand the physical demands of a job so they can improve safety and productivity, support quality control, and reduce injury-related costs.

📍 We’ll be at the Applied Ergonomics Conference (AEC) this week in booth #308 — stop by and say hello if you're attending.

High Quality Biomechanics

Noraxon technology enables its users to capture high quality human movement data. This is done with a modular approach and easy-to-use toolset of FDA-approved sensor systems and software, myoRESEARCH®. The equipment was built for both researchers and clinicians, a combination of easy-to-use features and reliable research quality data.

What sets Noraxon apart is the variety of data they can be seamlessly collected and combined within a single software platform. The integration of electromyography, force, pressure, motion and high speed video is complemented by automatic synchronization, creating a smarter workflow and reliable data. This single software can take you from data capture, to review and interpretation, all the way through an analysis and reporting. Collection, review, analysis, and reporting is now a streamlined process, even with data from many complex biomechanics recording systems.
