Non-invasive Evaluation of Upper and Lower Body Function With Showmotion

It is very important to understand joint and body kinematics and muscles activity in clinical settings, which is relevant to identify issues related to the spine, the upper and lower limbs due to injury.

In this study, the investigators will use an innovative platform, Showmotion to establish baseline of shoulder, hip, knee and spine kinematics and muscles activity from 60 healthy volunteers.

About this study

Upper and lower body functional evaluation is challenging and relevant to identify the issues related to injury. Current technique still stays at visual observation.

Showmotion™ (NCS Lab, Carpi, Italy) is an innovative platform that provides a comprehensive analysis to monitor motion patterns of the whole body using WISE sensors, proprietary wireless inertial and magnetic units (MIMU) developed by NCS Lab (Italy).

Using the data acquired from MIMU and validated protocols for upper and lower limbs, Showmotion is able to measure, objectify and store three dimensional kinematic variables highlighting underlying information and allowing an in-depth analysis of the movement in real time.

Compared to the classic motion analysis performed with cameras in special research laboratories, the Showmotion™ technology allows the user to analyze the movements of the subjects in any place, quickly, and without the need to a long process of data analysis.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Healthy people (without musculoskeletal pathologies of the joint of interest)
  • Age > 18, <65
  • Volunteers given written informed consent
  • Ability to understand and execute instructions at all stages of the procedure

Exclusion criteria

  • Age > 65, < 18
  • Active infections
  • Surgery at joint of interest
  • BMI (Body Mass Index) >30 kg/m2

Treatment and study plan

Showmotion

Device

Each healthy volunteers will wear sensors at the interested joint and do the measurement.

Primary outcomes

  1. range of motion

    Time frame: 1 HOUR

    measure, track, follow, compare the range of motion of anatomical articulations (such as shoulder and elbow for upper limb and hip and knee for lower limb) during movement, taking into account all clinical constraints related to easiness, quickness and portability.
