Summary

Strengthening of shoulder muscles in rehabilitation protocols and sport practice can be achieved by a wide range of different exercises and several types of technique. In presence of a rotator cuff lesion, articular cartilage pathology or instability, recommendations for design of a shoulder strength training protocol aim at avoiding or minimizing subacromial impingement and stress on the articular cartilages or labrum. Very limited objective data is at disposable to emit such recommendations.

The goal of this study was to capture and simulate 30 to 50 rehabilitation exercises to study the impact on the glenohumeral joint (e.g. cartilage’s compression, incidence of subacromial impingement) and rotator cuff (e.g. tendon lengthening of the subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor). Ultimately, this study will better target rehabilitation exercises of the shoulder.

Summary

The goal of this project was to provide a multi-platform product presentation and customization solution. The Taylormatic platform allows designers and producers to present their customizable products in a virtual yet visually realistic manner to potential clients, allowing them to manufacture products as required. At the same time it provides users with the freedom to configure products to their liking, while presenting them with a visually convincing result.

As part of this project, we worked on the research and development of a Kinect-based gesture recognition solution, as well as a multi-Kinect body scanning solution. The body scanner allows for the accurate size-estimation of fully dressed customers, for products where a size recommendation needs to be made.

Taking into account the full 3D asset production pipeline from initial design to final 3D content, we furthermore designed and developed asset management plugins for Unity which allow for the management and export of 3D assets and their meta data. Based on this data, the applications we developed ranging from a full in-store virtual mirror to optimized iOS and Android solutions, can be fully customized to support a wide variety of product types and visual identities.

Summary

We performed the motion capture for a mobile game created by Pom Pom Interactive, a joint venture between the Swiss firms of Crown ADAM AG and Roundmesh Interactive.

During this shooting, we captured several cheerleading motion sequences that were integrated into the gameplay of the video game. The moves were performed by Flora Maurer from Eurodancers.

Summary

The shoulder has the widest range of motion of any joint in the body, but at the cost of inherent instability causing pain and functional disability. To better understand the mechanisms involved in shoulder stability, an in-depth analysis of the shoulder kinematics is instrumental. Therefore, the project aimed at developing a new kinematic model to reliably evaluate the three-dimensional motion of the shoulder based on motion capture. To set up and evaluate the kinematic model, a clinical study involving tennis players was performed.

The results opened up new possibilities to orthopedic surgeons in order to improve assessment and treatment of patients with shoulder functional abnormalities.
