, There are three major types of 3D motion capture Inertial Sensor Systems (example - K-Vest)
systems available, these are the most common systems Electromagnetic Sensor Systems (example - AMM)
used in the industry Optical Infrared Systems (example - Motion Analysis)
3 ways to analyze motion capture data Visually
Numerically
Graphically
Firing squence Pelvis reaches backswing first, thorax, lead arm, club
Downswing sequence Red slows first (pelvis), Thorax(green), lead arm (blue), club (yellow)
sequence is key to? repeatability/consistency
Energy transfer or deceleration is key to? Power
S-Posture A swing characteristic caused by the player creating too much arch in their lower
back by sticking their tail bone out too much in the setup position.
The S-Posture swing characteristic can be caused by the a series of muscle imbalances called a Lower Crossed Syndrome (LCS).
following:
lower crossed syndrome A grouping of weak muscles combined with overactive or tight muscles, that
create a predictable movement pattern in the lower back, a pattern that can lead
to injury.
S-Posture is best screened using the? Pelvic Tilt Test and the Bridge w/ Leg Extension Test.
C-Posture When the shoulders are slumped forward at address and there is a definitive
roundness to the back from the tailbone to the back of the neck.
Majority of C-Postures are caused by? a series of muscle imbalances and joint restrictions that are developed over many
years
The most significant joint restriction seen in the C-Posture the lack of thoracic spine extension (limited backward bend or arching of the
is? upper back). That limitation can make it difficult to eliminate the C-Posture. This
can lead to a severe loss of spinal rotation, which in turn limits the ability to create
a good backswing turn.
C-Posture is best screened using the? Reach Roll and Lift Test, Overhead Deep Squat Test and the Lat Test.
