DARI clients have been applying our ecosystem of solutions in a variety of different areas for years. This interview series is meant to step out into real world settings and listen to what people are experiencing. From research findings, clinical applications. performance monitoring, to impacts on outcomes we want to hear it all. We are ready to bring you insights in motion.
This interview is with:
Dr. Andrew Fry
A lifelong researcher who wrote the book on the science on strength training.

Hear Dr. Fry discuss the validity and repeatability of the DARI system and the future of performance testing research.
In the world of human movement what is considered “good” movement is complicated to understand. In one instance you could measure a person’s ability against a normative range, a proven goal, or a given standard. For activities of daily living we will assess movement against a given standard.
When performing a bilateral squat the goal is simple; squat as low as you can. However, in human movement what is a “good” squat depth my need to be relative to what your body is capable of, or what standards need to be met for you to complete activities you would encounter in your daily living. Lets focus on the ADLs (activities of daily living)
For example, your squat depth ability needs to be good enough get out of a seated position. The standards for a seated position can be reference again object we interact with in our daily life. A toilet, a couch, a dining chair can all be used for this reference. Additionally, toilet height can range from about 15-18 inches off the ground.
If a person can achieve a squat that allows them to get to these performance marks they have met a standard to complete that activity of daily living.
DARI can be used in this analysis to quickly determine if a person can achieve this (and other) activities we engage with daily to give us a better sense of our motion health and what we can do improve those areas related to quality of life.

In a biomechanical review, reducing data from sets of information to points of information is a complicated process. This reduction makes information more manageable, but if the event is missed or improperly identified decisions during biomechanical review can be off or misleading. DARI data models are built for repeatability and accuracy not just in our overall biometrics, but also directly related to event detection.
In a sport specific settings (for example – baseball pitching) the movement is complex. Naturally, people utilize motion capture data to slow down the pitch motion to help with review, but the next step is picking objective information for a single point in time. This process is known as event detection.
In pitching, one event that most like to use for review is “foot contact” : Sampling data when the lead leg hits the ground after striding towards home plate.
Even though this event is easy to see or understand picking the event out in data can be more complex.
For example, during foot contact we first need to define what it is to have “foot contact”. Does that mean, when the first part of the foot contacts the ground? Only the when the toe or the heel contact the ground? Maybe, when the entire foot is on the ground? This definition creates a data range of acceptable answers. If the range is not cleared known and applied incorrectly during review, the sampled data at that event can be misleading (not wrong…)
This process of event detection is critical during data review. The more repeatable the events, the more repeatable the data reduction biometrics, the more repeatable the overall experience. Repeatable and accurate raw information is not nearly as valuable without the same level of scrutiny at event detection. DARI is a leader in this area!

In a biomechanical review, a bilateral squat can be used to judge performance or the mobility of a person. For activities of daily living or for general functional capacity it can be critical to better motion health years as we age. However, to use this information correctly, the measurement should not be taken at face value. It needs to be adjusted to improve it’s value and insight.
When performing a bilateral squat the goal is simple; squat as low as you can. Often times the lower you squat the stronger it correlates to better motion health. However, when trying to understand how squat depth is understood we start with its empirical measurement. For example, you can have a squat depth of 15 inches. That’s good right?
In that 15 inch squat example, if you are a 4 foot tall person vs a 7 foot tall person that 15 inch squat can look very different. Therefore, the overall measurement value can be misleading. Now, if we convert that 15 inch squat to a percentage of the person’s limb length we have a depth that is measured as a percentage. (it is normalized to the limb length). If we re-examine that 15 inch squat for the 4 and 7 foot tall person the new result would be:
We now have a way to compare squat performance for the two individuals that is more insightful and useful for review.
This is an example of one of the many DARI data analytics solutions….Finding ways to make your data more insightful and useful.
