Abstract :
The MOVE3D software was designed for use in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the National Institutes of Health. It uses data obtained from a 3D motion measurement system to provide quantitative analysis of human musculoskeletal motion including three-dimensional graphical displays. MOVE3D aids in the understanding of human motion disorders, leading to recommendations and improvements in clinical interventions. The software is designed for clinical flexibility and can be used to study a variety of motion disorders. Currently patients with rheumatoid arthritis and post-polio syndrome are among the populations being studied. MOVE3D is also provided at no cost to motion analysis labs worldwide
