Synopsis

This manual was developed to assist researchers in becoming familiar with the motion capture system available at the Human Movement Analysis Laboratory of the Center for Studies in Human Movement and Activity, integrated into the Rehabilitation Research Center (CEMAH-CIR). CEMAH-CIR is equipped with a motion analysis system composed of twelve optoelectronic cameras (eight Oqus500 and four MiqusM3), two video cameras (Miqus) from Qualisys Track Manager (Qualisys AB®, Sweden), three force platforms (FP4060-08/10, Bertec®, Columbus, Ohio, USA), and a Trigno Avanti surface electromyography system (Delsys Inc., Natick, MA, USA).

The preparation of this manual was based on the manufacturers’ recommendations, as well as the experience of the CEMAH-CIR research team, whose scientific output can be accessed through the CIR website (https://cir.ess.ipp.pt/index.php/publications/).
