OptiTrack

OptiTrack for Movement Sciences

OptiTrack systems offer the world’s leading blend of measurement accuracy and simple, easy-to-use workflows which provide researchers and biomechanists with ideal 3D tracking data for their studies.

Native, plug-and-play support for all major digital force plates, EMGs, and analog devices gives researchers the tools they need most for display and analysis in Visual3D, The MotionMonitor, MATLAB, and other third party biomechanics packages.

The most accurate measurement system in the world.

OptiTrack systems typically produce less than 0.2 mm of measurement error, even across large tracking areas—even of those 10,000 sq ft or more. In smaller measurement areas, OptiTrack systems regularly produce errors of 0.1 mm or less.

Each part of every OptiTrack system has been designed with measurement accuracy as the principal goal. And now, with OptiTrack’s self calibrating systems, these levels of accuracy are maintained throughout the day, every day, just through the use of the system.

Gait

With clinically validated markersets for lower-body, full-body and multi-segment foot models directly available in Motive through its one-click subject calibration, Gait laboratories can easily integrate OptiTrack systems for seamless workflow without any compromises.

Validated Biomechanics Markersets

Motive supports numerous biomechanics marker sets, with a focus on scientific and anatomically-valid options. Whether your analysis takes place in Visual3D, The MotionMonitor, MATLAB, or another third-party tool, these markersets provide robust marker tracking with real-time labeling.

Prefer a more detailed markerset for multi-segment studies? Motive’s standard markersets can be augmented with additional markers for capturing more verbose datasets.

Easy to Use

The day-to-day use of OptiTrack systems reduces or eliminates redundant efforts to which lab engineers and operators are often accustomed. No more daily wand wave, and no more placement of the L-frame at force plate corners. In fact, individual force plate location was more accurately defined on installation using actual measurement rather than dimensional offsets.

Each camera can be used as reference video, synchronised and calibrated for overlay. This is a software selection, allowing users to change the reference view with each trial if desired.
