Advancing the accuracy of movement analysis technology application for skilful performance

Motion capture technology is increasingly used across sport, healthcare, and corporate settings to better understand human movement. Elite sports organisations, like Major League Baseball and Grand Slam Tennis, use advanced non-invasive systems to improve performance, monitor injury risk, and support officiating. In community health and fitness, wearable devices and portable tools now offer individuals and practitioners access to basic movement data. In workplaces, video analysis supports ergonomic assessments and safety procedures. However, despite advances in accessibility and convenience, these systems still fall short of the accuracy provided by marker-based motion capture, the gold standard in lab-based research. This project will develop a hybrid approach that combines the practicality of wearable and non-invasive systems with the precision of laboratory-grade analysis, aiming to improve motion assessment across real-world environments.
