Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Have knowledge about the methods used to assess movement on humans
• Have knowledge about the general principles of optical motion capture systems
• Have knowledge about basic methods of image analysis and data reduction
• Have knowledge about the general principles of sensor-based motion capture equipment
• Have an overview on applications of movement analysis

Skills

• Can design, plan and prepare a motion capture session using an optical system
• Can compare different technological solutions to motion capture in regard to minimal requirements and error sources
