Spine Mobility – Improving Spine Function Often Goes Over Looked.
In a biomechanical review, spine mobility is all too important and is often overlooked. Focus can be easily made on the lower or upper body joints like the shoulders or the knees. However, most injuries impacting those joints can be traced back to the spine.
With a DARI system you have the ability to track spine mobility in all primary planes of movement. This variety gives you a perfect picture of what the spine can do and how it is impacting the hips and shoulder accordingly.
Noted in our firefighter population, the spine (low back pain) is a leader in MSK injuries and is a cause to lost productivity.
Checking your spine mobility regularly is a key way for you to maintain great motion health! Using DARI for a baseline and progressive monitoring will help you avoid those nagging back pains as you age.

Research Study: Spatio-temporal Motion Tracking with Unsynchronized Cameras
Markerless motion capture.
We present a new spatio-temporal method for markerless motion capture. We reconstruct the pose and motion of a character from a multi-view video sequence without requiring the cameras to be synchronized and without aligning captured frames in time. By formulating the model-to-image similarity measure as a temporally continuous functional, we are also able to reconstruct motion in much higher temporal detail than was possible with previous synchronized approaches. By purposefully running cameras unsynchronized we can capture even very fast motion at speeds that off-the-shelf but high quality cameras provide.
We have introduced a spatio-temporal approach to articulated motion tracking from unsynchronized multi-view video. Unlike previous approaches that rely on synchronized input video, our method makes use of the additional temporal resolution to successfully track fast moving actors with low frame-rate cameras. It also enables setting up simpler and cheaper capture setups, as there is no need anymore for hardware based synchronization and high frame rate cameras.

Using Your Body as a Measurement Reference for Performance
In a biomechanical review movement needs to be measured in a way to help determine overall performance and/or quality. Some look for standards against a specific population while others look for general guidelines. In this post we will discuss how you can use your own body as the reference to better understand your results.
If you were to complete a single leg squat movement you could measure a variety of different biomechanical factors. One of them is most often squat depth using your pelvis movement as a measuring point. In this example, you may have a single leg squat depth of 15 inches. This empirical measurement can be complicated when trying to decide if it is “good” performance.
If we use your leg length as a relative measurement to yourself you can better understand how you performed. The higher the percentage the more you are achieving your personal goal.
This measurement technique allows you to compare yourself to the best version of you. Nothing else matters when you know you are maximizing what your body has to offer!
