Summary
We created four 3D animations presenting the different external fixators of Gexfix. For each product, the animation shows the possible movements a patient can do when equipped with such a device.
To create these animations, movements were mainly recorded by motion capture. The 3D models of fixators and skeleton were provided by Gexfix.

Summary
Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a rare condition that involves pain in the neck and shoulder, numbness and tingling of the fingers. It happens when the nerves or blood vessels are compressed in the thoracic outlet which is the area between the rib cage and clavicle.
The goal of this study was to better understand certain causes of TOS by performing a dynamic simulation of the shoulder complex. Repetitive arm and shoulder movements, as well as anatomical defects can play a role in the development of TOS. In this study, motion capture and medical imaging (CT, MRI) were combined to improve assessment of this condition in symptomatic patients.
