Description
Summary:&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Comparisons between the merits of many different motion analysis systems is a very difficult task because their published specifications are obtained in a widely varying conditions and in some cases refer only to the performance of small components of an integrated system. The main purpose of this study is the introduction of the reader to the most important tecnologic characteristics that define the performance of the modern optoelectronic systems on the basis of data acquisition and signal processing. The evolution of these systems during the last two decades brought about a need for determination of objective criteria and standarized procedures that allow potential users evaluate different systems before spend money. In short, the decision for an optoelectronic system should be made on the basis of the investigations&amp;acute; particular purposes, systems&amp;rsquo; performance and price. &lt;br /&gt;KEY WORDS: Photoinstrumentation, optoelectronic systems, cinematic analysis, Biomechanics&lt;/p&gt;<br>El objetivo de este estudio es presentar, en l&amp;iacute;neas generales, el estado actual de conocimientos respecto a las caracter&amp;iacute;sticas y prestaciones de los sistemas optoelectr&amp;oacute;nicos m&amp;aacute;s ampliamente utilizados hoy en d&amp;iacute;a para describir, analizar y evaluar cinem&amp;aacute;ticamente el movimiento humano. La evoluci&amp;oacute;n continua de las distintas tecnolog&amp;iacute;as empleadas en el desarrollo de estos sistemas y la cada vez mayor oferta por parte de las casas comerciales requieren establecer procesos estandarizados y criterios objetivos que permitan evaluar de forma comparativa estos sistemas. En definitiva, facilitar la selecci&amp;oacute;n de un sistema optoelectr&amp;oacute;nico en funci&amp;oacute;n de las necesidades de la investigaci&amp;oacute;n, sus prestaciones y su precio. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;PALABRAS CLAVE: Fotoinstrumentaci&amp;oacute;n, sistemas optoelectr&amp;oacute;nicos, an&amp;aacute;lisis cinem&amp;aacute;tico, Biomec&amp;aacute;nica&lt;/p&gt;
