In this article by Pete Leno from AccuPower, he explains why they teamed up with Dartfish to bring visualization tools to force plate data and gives two examples illustrating the simplicity and effectiveness of the approach. The learning styles of today’s students are certainly more visual and hands on, so to effectively teach biomechanics requires that teachers are equipped with the tools to provide that hands on approach to teaching. To this end, AccuPower Software and Dartfish have collaborated to seamlessly integrate 3-D force plate measurements with digital video analysis, providing educators with a robust teaching tool for labs and classrooms. The resulting integration of kinetic data and Dartfish video analysis visualizes the scientific principles behind human movement in a time and cost effective manner. AccuPower Software 2.0 is a software package that integrates data collection and analysis from any AMTI force plate with Dartfish video analysis software. Data streams collected by AccuPower Software can be displayed in Dartfish…
