Assessment of Asymmetrical Lower Limb Range of Motion in Six-Step, a Basic Footwork in Breakdance (Breaking)
With the inclusion of breaking as an official Olympic sport at Paris 2024, the acrobatic dance genre has garnered attention from the public, media, and researchers alike. Recent research has found a higher incidence of musculoskeletal injuries among breakers, particularly in the lower limbs. A team at Ehime University in Japan used markerless motion capture to study Six-Step, the most fundamental footwork pattern in breaking and one performed by dancers at every skill level, to find out exactly how much range of motion (ROM) is required of each leg in this inherently asymmetric movement.
A Guide to Pitching Biomechanics and Motion Capture Measurement
Understand the key phases of the pitching motion, why the shoulder and elbow face high stress, and how motion capture helps analyze throwing mechanics.
3D Gait Analysis: What It Measures and How Labs Capture It
See what 3D gait analysis measures, how marker-based and markerless systems capture movement, and what research says about their accuracy.
