BIOMECHANICS

Optical laser scanning system applicable to the design of:

• Spaces (homes, offices, hospitals, factories, cars, furniture, etc.).
  
• Medical products (prosthetics, specialized clothing).
  
• Tools (medical, work).
  

Mainly used for the design of:

• Lasts for customized footwear.
  
• Shoes for feet with pathologies.
  
• Orthosis design.
  

Mainly used in the film industry for the kinetic animation of science fiction characters, for developing videogames and in sports to improve lraining techniques. At CIATEC it is also used for walking analysis, rehabilitation, posture, and for medical purposes evaluation of locomotion means.

Providing measurements to set the pattern for:

• Design and manufacture of orthopedic insoles that can regulate the biomechanics of the foot as naturally as possible.
  
• Proposal of rehabilitation techniques, through the analysis of the walking and plantar strength.
  
• Propose posture correction exercises.
  
• Design orthopedic elements.
  

For measuring reaction forces that exist between the ground surface and the feet during walking, used in:

• The evaluation of high performance athletes, to improve their performance.
  
• To define actions to prevent injuries in athletes.
  

For measuring the level of activation of the superficial muscles of the human body, through the use of electrodes, and allows for the detection of neurological problems or the development of fatigue analysis in high performance athletes.

Computerized numerical control (CNC) machine used in the manufacture of orthopedic components.

Used in the manufacture of orthopedic components.
