Children’s Hospital Colorado recently announced that its state-of-the-art Center for Gait and Movement Analysis (gait lab) is utilizing Vicon’s newest motion capture camera technology. Valkyrie offers market leading resolution and camera speed, unlocking powerful insights into human movement and the best decisions for patients.
The experts in the gait lab see patients with a variety of neuromuscular and musculoskeletal conditions, including cerebral palsy, spina bifida, brain or spinal cord injury, muscular dystrophies, hip and joint issues, balance disorders, brace or prosthetic device modifications, and sports-related injuries.
Vicon has been instrumental in the Gait Lab’s work for over 25 years. This latest upgrade to Valkyrie cameras allows medical staff to utilize advanced motion capture techniques, including 3D motion kinetics and kinematics. Precise and accurate patient data ensures quicker diagnoses, and helps unlock better, real-time treatment plans for patients.
“Our goal is to help our patients be as mobile and active as possible,” said Lucas Moore, program developer for Children’s Colorado’s Gait Lab. “With updated camera capabilities, our ability to better see how a patient’s body moves during a clinical gait analysis – undertaken to see how a child walks with or without the assistance of a walker, crutches or special braces – helps our team of experts evaluate data quicker and craft the best treatment plans for our patients.”
The collaboration underscores Vicon’s commitment to advancing life sciences through pioneering motion capture solutions.
We’re proud to support Children’s Colorado, which has established itself as a pioneer in the discovery of innovative and groundbreaking treatments that are shaping the future of pediatric healthcare worldwide. For more details, read the press release here.
