Biomechanics Apps For the iPad?

[Matthew Seeley]

I was just given an Apple iPad and I am now wondering about biomechanics-related apps. I am especially curious to hear about any apps that could potentially be used in an undergraduate biomechanics course, by the professor or the students. Does anyone know of anything that might be useful?

Matthew -

Video Physics is a great little app. I just acquired it and began been playing with it for use in my biomechanics and gait analysis class. It allows you to use existing (or one of their sample) videos to demonstrate position and velocity along an X,Y coordinate system of any point you reference on a video. Frame-by-frame is available (just like the "good old days" of video analysis). More here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/verni...389784247?mt=8

Hi

Here is a maths formula app for most types of smartphone.

Hello, I see this thread is a couple of years old, and I am wondering if anyone wants to share any updated ipad biomechanics-related apps that may be helpful in teaching and/or coaching. Thanks!

A simple but very effective app is 'Ubersense' it is free too. Good for player or coach 2D video analysis.

Coaches Eye by Techsmith (4.99) is great coaching tool. Import or native video, draw, annotate on screen. http://www.coachseye.com/

The Level Belt app for iOS devices (Lite version, 4.99, Pro version 29.99) provides tilt measurement and real-time biofeedback for rehabilitation or other exercises. We developed it in research at Ohio State and it has now become a commercial product. The cheapest little positional biofeedback unit you can get, and a reasonably accurate portable clinical tool for measuring angular deviations as well. We'll be reporting its validity vs. Vicon motion capture for pelvic motion at GCMAS next month. The Pro version can export recorded data to Excel as well.
