The SMASH Team uses state-of-the-art methods like advanced video recording
techniques to analyze your body movement and muscle activity while walking. Using innovative computer technology, motion analysis captures movements, muscle activity and forces that the eye can’t see. Although people might have similar walking patterns, the  way their muscles and joints work together can vary widely—gait and motion analysis helps to understand and recognize how orthopedic, neurological and muscular conditions can hinder motions that are critical to daily living.
