Abstract

This review provides an in-depth examination of the technologies and methods used for the acquisition and processing of kinetic and kinematic variables in human motion analysis. This review analyzes the capabilities and limitations of motion-capture cameras (MCCs), inertial measurement units (IMUs), force platforms, and other prototype technologies. The role of advanced processing techniques, including filtering and transformation methods, and the increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for data classification is also discussed. These advancements enhance the precision and efficiency of biomechanical analyses, paving the way for more accurate assessments of human movement patterns. The review concludes by providing guidelines for the effective application of these technologies in both clinical and research settings, emphasizing the need for comprehensive validation to ensure reliability. This comprehensive overview serves as a valuable resource for researchers and professionals in the field of biomechanics, guiding the selection and application of appropriate technologies and methodologies for human movement analysis.
Keywords: healthcare innovation; healthcare data analysis; biomechanical analysis; inertial measurement unit (IMU); motion-capture system (MCS) healthcare innovation; healthcare data analysis; biomechanical analysis; inertial measurement unit (IMU); motion-capture system (MCS)
