MetaMotion™ LabWork and Insight provide turnkey lab design, validated data pipelines, and reproducible analytics so universities and research centres can run large-scale biomechanics, rehab and sports trials with confidence.
TL;DR – MetaMotion™ helps research groups design and operate motion labs, collect high-fidelity kinematic/kinetic datasets, and convert raw signals into harmonised, publication-ready metrics. We supply lab build, training & certification, APIs for data export, and a Digital Twin to aggregate multi-site cohorts for large trials and longitudinal studies.
What we deliver
- Turnkey lab design and installation that meets clinical and research standards.
- Repeatable capture protocols and certified user training so your data are reproducible.
- A research-grade analytics pipeline and Digital Twin to harmonise multi-site datasets for publication and modelling.
Key benefits
MetaMotion™ delivers research-grade movement data that are repeatable across operators and sites, reducing methodological noise and improving statistical power. That reliability shortens time-to-publication and strengthens grant applications, collaborations and translational impact.
How it works — research workflow
- Scope & lab design: we consult on study aims, power/sample needs, and design the physical lab (camera/sensor placement, force plates, space layout).
- Equipment & calibration: MetaMotion™ deploys calibrated capture systems (markerless or IMU), integrates force/pressure devices, and validates sensor fusion for accurate kinematics/kinetics.
- Protocol & training: we co-develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) and certify lab operators with hands-on workshops and documentation to ensure inter-rater reliability.
- Data capture & harmonisation: Insight and the Digital Twin ingest raw data, normalise formats, and apply the same processing pipelines across sites for consistent metrics.
- Analysis & export: export publication-ready datasets or connect via APIs to your preferred analysis tools and statistical software for modelling and peer-reviewed work.
Why it matters
- Reproducibility: standardised capture protocols and certified training reduce inter-site variability – essential for multi-centre trials.
- Scalability: the Digital Twin aggregates activity, clinical and economic data across cohorts so small teams can run large-scale studies without rebuilding pipelines.
- Translational value: harmonised metrics speed the move from lab findings to clinical practice, enabling evidence-based rehabilitation and policy recommendations.
Research features (what investigators actually use)
- Turnkey LabWork: site planning, equipment procurement, installation and calibration to research-grade standards.
- Certified protocols & training: SOPs for markerless capture, IMU placement, calibration routines and inter-rater checks to ensure data quality.
- Harmonised analytics: Insight processing pipelines convert raw kinematics/kinetics into standard metrics (joint angles, symmetry indices, estimated ground reaction metrics) for cross-study comparability.
- Digital Twin & data governance: secure, centralised repository that links movement, health records and outcomes while respecting PDPL and institutional ethics.
- APIs & export tools: scripted exports (CSV, JSON) and connectors for MATLAB, Python and common statistical packages to facilitate reproducible analyses.
Evidence & validation
MetaMotion™ applies clinical-grade capture and processing used in our Clinic and LabWork deployments to ensure metrics are defensible in peer review. Our harmonisation approach follows best practice for multi-site biomechanics, enabling reproducible cohort studies and translational trials.
Use cases (where Research & Academia see fastest returns)
- Multi-centre clinical trials: harmonise motion endpoints across hospitals to power studies of rehabilitation, orthopaedics and neurology.
- Longitudinal cohort studies: combine wearable and lab data over months or years to model trajectories of mobility, aging and disease.
- Student training & curriculum: provide hands-on lab experience with research-standard tools and certified protocols for biomechanics and physiotherapy programs.
- Methodology papers & tool validation: publish validation studies that compare markerless and IMU pipelines to gold-standard references.
Next steps for research leaders
- Agree study aims and scope so MetaMotion™ delivers a tailored LabWork proposal and project plan.
- Book a technical workshop to define capture protocols, required sample size and data exports for your planned analyses.
- Request a training & certification package for lab staff so your dataset is publication-ready from day one.
