Applying MEMS Inertial Technology to Reduce Injuries
Analyzing athletes’ reaction to the extreme physical requirements of their sport leads to improved performance and avoids injuries. For competitive rowing, Roessingh Research & Development (RRD), a Netherlands research center, uses the Xsens MVN system developed by Xsens Technologies B.V. for its kinematics analysis. The Xsens MVN system is a motion capture solution that consists […]
