Capture

Start with a signal you can trust.

A guided setup connects the sensor, the person and the task before a session begins.

For every session

A setup for the task

Choose the movement, assign each pod to a body location and record the placement. Save the setup so the next session can follow the same approach.

Setup & requirements
Setup
Pods at the selected muscle or motion sites, with a suitable attachment.
Considerations
Consistent placement and calibration make repeated sessions easier to compare.

Check before you begin

See whether the recording is usable before asking someone to exercise. Flag excessive noise, clipped signals and gaps, then repeat the check after repositioning.

Setup & requirements
Setup
Raw EMG and IMU signals, plus available device-status information.
Considerations
Review noise, clipping and missing samples. Signal quality does not directly measure skin-contact impedance.

Keep the whole session

Record the signals with task notes and meaningful moments. Replay an attempt, add an annotation and return to the original recording when a question comes up.

Setup & requirements
Setup
A shared time base for the selected pods and recording software.
Considerations
Keep channels synchronized, mark recording gaps and retain the original signals alongside processed views.

Biofeedback

Turn effort into a clear next action.

Simple targets can make activation, holding and release easier to follow. A practitioner chooses the task and an appropriate reference.

Training · Neuro · Ortho

Activate. Then release.

Raise an activity bar into a chosen band, then let it return toward the resting target. Use visual or audio cues to follow each part of the task.

Setup & requirements
Setup
One EMG channel over the target muscle, with a resting reference.
Considerations
Set individual thresholds and check signal quality. A missing signal is not evidence of relaxation.

Hold with a purpose

Follow a configurable work-and-rest sequence. Review completed holds, time in the target band and how consistently the person releases between attempts.

Setup & requirements
Setup
One or more selected EMG channels; a practitioner-set target and timing.
Considerations
Choose a comfortable reference, clear cues and suitable work/rest timing for the person and task.

Follow a reference

Display a chosen activation pattern beside the current attempt. Compare when effort starts, how long it lasts and when it ends, rather than chasing a single score.

Setup & requirements
Setup
A recorded reference; synchronized channels for simultaneous side-to-side comparison.
Considerations
Use consistent placement and reference values. The opposite side is not automatically the right target.

Practise selective control

Show two monitored muscles together. The clinician chooses an activation target for one and an appropriate range for the other.

Setup & requirements
Setup
Two synchronized EMG channels on the selected muscle pair.
Considerations
Check for signal overlap between muscles and calibrate each channel. Less coactivation is not always better.

Games

Make purposeful practice playful.

Connect an agreed muscle-control goal with a simple, adjustable challenge.

Guided practice · Paediatrics · Older adults

Lift, hold and land

Use a selected muscle to lift a balloon, hold it inside a target zone and release to bring it down. The round follows an activation–hold–release task.

Setup & requirements
Setup
One calibrated EMG channel and a game display.
Considerations
Match sensitivity to the person and pause when the signal is unreliable. Game completion does not establish a treatment outcome.

Find the rhythm

Meet a sequence of visual gates with timed effort and rest. Adjust the pace and target size to keep the task understandable and achievable.

Setup & requirements
Setup
One EMG channel; optional motion confirmation for a defined exercise.
Considerations
Choose a suitable pace, target size and round length, with supervision appropriate to the person.

Take turns with control

Use two monitored muscles to guide alternating actions. Review successful turns, release timing and unwanted overlap during the chosen task.

Setup & requirements
Setup
Two synchronized EMG channels with separate reference levels.
Considerations
Choose which action each muscle controls. Scores describe the game task, not recovery or independence.

Movement & ROM

Put muscle activity into motion.

Follow a segment, examine a joint or compare repetitions—with the sensing setup matched to the question.

Exercise · Occupational practice · Ergonomics

Follow a body segment

See the movement of a selected segment alongside its muscle signal. Explore when activity changes as the segment starts, stops or changes direction.

Setup & requirements
Setup
A securely attached IMU; EMG where muscle activity is also required.
Considerations
Align the sensor with the body segment during calibration. Pod orientation is not automatically anatomical orientation.

Measure a joint’s motion

Review a calibrated joint-angle curve, its range and the timing of the movement. A knee exercise, for example, needs a view of the thigh relative to the shank.

Setup & requirements
Setup
Normally two synchronized IMUs on adjacent segments, with additional sensors for additional joints.
Considerations
Use a calibrated model for the joint and movement. One freely moving upper-arm pod cannot independently measure elbow angle.

Compare one rep with the next

Align repetitions to compare duration, movement phases and muscle-activity timing. See which parts of a repeated task are consistent and which change.

Setup & requirements
Setup
EMG and/or IMU placement appropriate to the selected exercise.
Considerations
Use a method suited to the exercise and speed; review repetition boundaries before comparing attempts.

Explore hand tasks and work patterns

Guide a chosen grasp-and-release task or examine activity and rest periods during a repeated work task. Put forearm effort beside the action being observed.

Setup & requirements
Setup
EMG at selected forearm or other muscle sites; optional motion sensing and task annotations.
Considerations
Task-specific interpretation and consistent placement. This does not directly measure grip force, individual finger angles, tissue damage or injury risk.

Build a multi-segment view

Bring selected segments into a shared body view, then inspect their movement and joint curves together. Expand the setup around the task rather than starting with a fixed full-body package.

Setup & requirements
Setup
A defined sensor map for the modeled segments and measured muscles, with synchronized capture.
Considerations
Match the body model and number of sensors to the segments being studied. Coverage depends on the selected configuration.

Gait

Follow the pattern of each step.

Connect step timing, selected muscle activity and calibrated movement analysis.

Walking assessment · Gait practice · Running research

Understand the rhythm

Review cadence, step and stride time, plus stance and swing duration. Connect the numbers to detected contacts on a replayable timeline.

Setup & requirements
Setup
Foot, shank or other IMU placement specified by the gait protocol; bilateral capture for both sides.
Considerations
Choose a protocol tested for the task and gait pattern. IMU-based contact and toe-off times are estimates.

Compare left and right

View side-specific timing and variability across accepted strides. Understand the difference between a consistent side-to-side pattern and a few unusual steps.

Setup & requirements
Setup
Synchronized left/right sensing and enough usable strides for the chosen analysis.
Considerations
Use consistent event detection and comparison methods. Asymmetry alone does not establish a diagnosis or sport readiness.

See muscles through the gait cycle

Align activity from selected muscles with stance and swing. Compare activation timing across steps or revisit the same walking task in a later session.

Setup & requirements
Setup
EMG at the muscles of interest, synchronized with the sensors used for gait events.
Considerations
Synchronize gait events and EMG, using consistent reference values. Foot-event placement may differ from the best EMG location.

Explore spatial gait measures

Estimate step or stride length and walking speed within a supported setup. Keep spatial estimates connected to the conditions under which they were calculated.

Setup & requirements
Setup
Suitable foot IMUs or a calibrated segment model with the necessary body measurements.
Considerations
Spatial estimates need suitable calibration and drift correction. Treadmill and overground tasks require different methods.

Progress

Make the next comparison meaningful.

Build a record of the same task over time, with the context needed to understand what changed.

Session review · Practitioner communication

Assess. Practise. Reassess.

Record a baseline task, practise with a chosen cue, then repeat the task. Review the measured response together to inform the next conversation.

Setup & requirements
Setup
A repeatable task, documented placement and an appropriate reference recording.
Considerations
Keep the exercise, calibration and processing comparable. A practitioner interprets the change and chooses the next step.

A clear session history

Compare selected sessions, overlay accepted repetitions and build a report around the question being assessed. Keep notes beside the measurements.

Setup & requirements
Setup
Saved recordings with protocol, placement and reference information.
Considerations
Keep units and processing consistent. A change in a graph is not automatically a change in strength or recovery.

Connect a guided home program

Connect assigned tasks, feedback settings and recorded home sessions with practitioner review before a follow-up.

Setup & requirements
Setup
A suitable home-use sensor setup, participant account and practitioner review workflow.
Considerations
Agree on supervision and review arrangements. Home use needs secure access, participant consent and reliable session synchronization.

Investigate fatigue-related trends

Explore how selected EMG amplitude and frequency features change during a controlled task. Use the trend as one part of a protocol-specific assessment.

Setup & requirements
Setup
Suitable raw EMG bandwidth and a controlled, repeatable contraction protocol.
Considerations
Use stable analysis windows and a protocol suited to the task. These trends do not provide a universal fatigue percentage or predict repetitions remaining.

Research & integrations

Keep the data open to better questions.

Inspect recordings, reproduce an analysis and connect the right external measurements to a research question.

Research · Custom applications · Specialist assessment

Export a reproducible recording

Take raw and processed signals into a research workflow with their timestamps, event markers and setup details. Retain the information needed to understand every channel.

Setup & requirements
Setup
Recording software with a documented export schema.
Considerations
Retain units, sensor assignments, processing history and quality flags. Match the export format to your analysis tools.

Put video beside the signal

Replay a movement and its sensor traces together. For custom applications, discuss the dataset and streaming interface your research needs.

Setup & requirements
Setup
A camera and synchronization pathway for video; a documented interface for external software.
Considerations
Check camera and software compatibility, clock offset and drift. Manual event alignment is approximate.

Prototype an adaptive controller

Use a defined muscle or movement event as an input to a research application. Experiment with mappings that adapt an interface to a person’s chosen action.

Setup & requirements
Setup
A documented streaming SDK, compatible development environment and calibrated input channels.
Considerations
Assess event accuracy, latency and false triggers for the application. Controller research needs application-specific safeguards.

Extend the measurement setup

Bring external force, pressure or physiological measurements into the same review when the question requires them.

Setup & requirements
Setup
Appropriate force plates, dynamometers, pressure devices or dedicated physiological sensors, plus an integration pathway.
Considerations
EMG + IMU alone do not directly measure force, plantar pressure or VO₂. Joint-load estimates require additional inputs and a separately validated model.

THE PRACTICAL DETAILS

The right question.
The right setup.

Understanding the requirements is part of choosing a useful measurement.

Which modules fit my setup?

Module availability, supported tasks and sensor configuration are confirmed during your walkthrough. Tell us your goal so we can identify the right fit.

What can one pod tell me?

A pod with suitable EMG and IMU hardware can capture electrical activity at a selected muscle site and movement at that location. Outputs beyond those signals depend on the software, placement and calibration. More muscles, relative joint angles and bilateral gait questions may require additional synchronized sensors.

Why do some gait features need a different setup?

The best site for EMG skin contact is not always the best site for detecting foot contacts or tracking a rigid segment. Gait analysis therefore needs a specified sensor map and tested algorithms. Timing measures and spatial measures also have different requirements.

Does stronger EMG mean greater strength?

EMG measures muscle electrical activity. Its amplitude is affected by placement, skin contact, anatomy and the task, so it is not a direct measurement of strength or force. Force measurements require suitable external hardware or a separately validated estimation method.

How can practice suit children or older adults?

Larger targets, clear cues, suitable sensitivity and manageable rounds can make a task easier to follow. A practitioner selects the activity and supervision. Game scores describe task completion, not recovery, fall risk or independence.

How is progress interpreted?

Compare the same task with consistent placement, reference values and processing. Reports should describe the recorded change and its context. Diagnosis, treatment decisions and return-to-sport decisions remain with the qualified professionals responsible for the person’s care.
