Static vs. Dynamic: How Markerless Motion Capture Captures Knee Alignment in OA
A new peer-reviewed study from Queen’s University and Kingston Health Sciences Center has shown how markerless motion capture can quantify lower limb alignment in patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA) without the limitations of X-rays or traditional marker-based systems.
Can Markerless Motion Capture Accurately Track Multiple Athletes at Once?
A new 2025 study puts Theia3D to the test in dual-athlete sport tasks, and the results may surprise you.
How Oregon State University Captured Real-World Running Biomechanics — Without Markers or a Lab
Discover how researchers at Oregon State University used Theia3D’s markerless motion capture system to study trail running biomechanics in real-world environments. This case study details their 10-camera outdoor setup, methodology, and early insights into hip and ankle kinematics across different surfaces and footwear. Learn how markerless tech enabled OSU to capture high-quality, lab-grade data — without markers, force plates, or a controlled environment.
