STT System - CLIMA (Clinical Motion Analysis)

CLIMA (Clinical Motion Analysis) is a fully automated optical motion capture system. It allows a complete analysis of any human movement such as shoulder abduction, knee flexion or a complete gait analysis.

CLIMA comprises a standard computer and a variable number of cameras, which depends on the requirements of the application. This system can easily generate customized information including biomechanical plots, 3D models, written reports (in any format: MS Word, MS Excel, OpenOffice, HTML) or raw data.

STT’s motion capture algorithms deliver an excellent precision while providing real-time operation and bio-feedback capabilities. CLIMA is being used in hospitals, medical centers and research institutions.

 

Key features

• Automatic and simple-to-use optical motion capture system.
• Real-time response and comprehensive acquisition of biomechanical parameters.
• Precision and reliability based on powerful algorithms.
• CLIMA software is a versatile analysis tool which provides results in several formats.

 

Applications

With an accuracy of 0.1 millimetres, CLIMA is a powerful, accurate and easy-to-use tool, suitable for Neurology and rehabilitation applications like gait analysis, stroke rehabilitation, posturography, balance analysis, etc. Its latency times (lower than 2 milliseconds), enable real-time feedback.

The requirements in the Biomechanical research field might be very different from those in medical applications, and for this reason CLIMA allows a great flexibility. New biomechanical models can be developed and access to raw data is allowed. Fully documented APIs and SDKs are available.

Occupational health needs systems that provide measurement and an objective view of the level of different injuries, as well as the progress of rehabilitation processes. Many insurance companies and rehabilitation institutions have implemented CLIMA to carry out a reliable Evaluation of physical damage.
