Ascension Magnetic

The MotionMonitor™ featuring Ascension Magnetic Trackers....

The MotionMonitor™ Biomech II is a real value. Designed for basic research in biomechanics, kinesiology and ergonomics, Biomech II has the measurement range that makes it suitable for most sports medicine applications as well. The Biomech II will track up to 14 body segments designated by the researcher; integrate that data with analogue data collected from the two Bertec force plates included with this system; or from your EMG system; process all kinematic data, kinetic data, joint forces, moments and centers of mass; and present that data with state of the art renderings and graphical displays.

Biomech II base unit with 2 Bertec Forceplates, Ascension Extended Range Transmitter, and Layout of Measurement Space.

This system is "seamlessly" upgradeable through the addition of sensors or integrated video. It includes our Maintenance and Software Subscription program to ensure that your system remains state of the art. On-site installation and on-site training will ensure that you get started quickly and enjoy maximum benefit from your system.

The Ascension Advantage...

Real time data collection and display.

No line of sight requirements, no lost markers or post processing.

Non-multiplexed collection, each sensor collects at maximum rate of 144 hz.

Flexible configuration with support for any number of sensors from 1 to 15.

DC magnetic technology is less susceptible to metallic distortion.

A variety of sensor solutions to meet every research requirement.

Low cost systems featuring accurate, repeatable measurements.
