Codamotion System: clinical movement analysis

Codamotion is an easy to use and portable measurement system for applications such as posture analysis, stroke rehabilitation and motor control studies requiring real time feedback. The Codamotion system allows users to clearly quantify and interpret human movement in 3D and in real-time. Capable of analyzing all scales of human body movement.

Principal investigators are Dr. Marlene Morgan and Dr. Karen Brady of the Occupational Therapy Program.
