| Summary: | This paper describes motion capture work applied to ballet gestures. A wireless gyroscopic sensor based system is used to record the movements of ballet dancers in order to establish a suitable workflow for extreme human movements and to investigate if such equipment is capable of detecting misalignments in ankle position. Results show that subtle variations in joint rotation can be clearly measured and could be used to develop fault detection and isolation possibilities for injury prevention and improved performance. The limits of the current techniques and some improvements are discussed, for real-time performance feedback. |
