Sports Surgery Clinic and TuringSense recently announced a partnership to improve athletic injury prevention and speed up rehabilitation.
Ireland-based SSC is a sport-specific hospital specializing in 3D biomechanics, diagnostics, and orthopedic surgery and rehab. TuringSense, a Silicon Valley-based sports wearable company, focuses on camera-less 3D motion capture technology. SSC will utilize TuringSense’s PIVOT technology to enhance their injury prediction analysis and athletic rehabilitation.
PIVOT is a real time high-speed multi-sensor 3D motion capture system. But unlike most 3D motion capture systems, cameras aren’t required. SSC will use the small PIVOT sensors to develop a new field-based version of their multifaceted proprietary VU test, used to determine when athletes are ready to return from injury.
