AVAILABLE NOW
Precomputed research reference
Documented healthy-reference trial, precomputed OpenSim results, joint-motion visualization, modeled activation, estimated muscle forces, and source/limitation information.
RESEARCH USE ONLY — NOT FOR DIAGNOSIS OR TREATMENT
Human Motion Lab
From motion-capture data to reproducible musculoskeletal analysis.
Human Motion Lab is being developed as a vendor-neutral research workflow for data validation, traceable biomechanical processing, subject and cohort comparison, and reproducible reporting.
PROJECT VISION & DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP
From Ataxia Assessment to Safe Assisted Running
A research roadmap for measuring movement, modelling impairment, predicting assistance and supporting safer locomotion.
This is a project vision and development roadmap—not a promise of cure, recovery, or running for every participant.
IN DEVELOPMENT
Research workflow
Real laboratory-data import, automated OpenSim processing, quality control, provenance record, subject comparison, and research report export.
FUTURE RESEARCH DIRECTION
Personalized analysis and assistive systems
Personalized movement analysis, cohort and multi-site studies, assistive-device simulation, virtual external force and torque, and device parameter optimization. Research concept — not currently available.
01
CURRENT
Measure the Person
Participant profile, ataxia and functional history, video or motion-capture data, joint positions, walking speed and contact timing; force plate, IMU or EMG when available.
Capture how the individual currently stands, balances and moves.02
CURRENT
Build the Movement Profile
Centre-of-mass movement, step length, step width, cadence, gait variability, joint angles, left/right asymmetry and stance/swing timing.
Convert movement data into a structured and traceable individual profile.03
NEXT
Identify Movement Differences
Instability, coordination loss, irregular foot placement, joint-angle deviation, muscle activity, load distribution and compensatory movement.
Compare with a compatible reference and locate measurable movement differences; do not diagnose disease.04
PLANNED
Create the Personalized Model
Anthropometric scaling, individual joint motion, external forces, model-estimated muscle forces, joint reaction forces, uncertainty and quality score.
Muscle and joint forces are model-estimated unless directly measured.05
RESEARCH ROADMAP
Simulate Assistance
External support force, assistive torque, activation timing, assistive location and exosuit or orthosis configuration.
Not currently available — requires development and experimental validation.06
FUTURE
Optimize the Device
Reduce instability and excessive joint load; improve timing and symmetry; select actuator force, position and timing.
Future research capability — not a clinical recommendation.07
FUTURE
Validate in a Safe Environment
Simulation, bench testing, healthy-participant testing, supervised participant testing, safety review and iterative calibration.
Validate every change progressively before any real-world use.08
LONG-TERM VISION
Safer Assisted Walking and Running
Safer standing, more stable walking, better obstacle response, reduced fall risk and personalized assistance; fast walking or running only when physically appropriate.
The long-term goal is personalized assistive locomotion—not a guaranteed cure or independent running.This diagram presents the development pathway of the Human Motion Lab project. It does not represent a guaranteed clinical outcome. Running may not be safe or achievable for every person with ataxia. Future assistive functions require biomechanical validation, safety testing and supervised clinical research.
