Advanced Motion Measurement

AMM, Inc. develops 3D motion capture hardware, software and systems for the motion analysis industry.

AMM has a comprehensive product line including AMM 3D-GOLF with TPI 3D golf swing biomechanics analysis, and sports motion analysis in general. High-end, high-speed optical, electromagnetic and inertial systems are available.

AmmSensor™ is a real-time wireless 3D sensor that is Bluetooth compatible. Together with AmmTrainer3D™ and AmmGraph3D™ a graphics display package, they address a myriad of motion capture applications in many different industries. AmmSensor™ may be used in the life sciences, industrial, entertainment, military, training, simulation, animation and the movement science fields. AMM has developed the AmmTrainer3D™ biofeedback training system that can be used in biomechanics research, rehabilitation, sports science and for sports training.

Look at the animation and graph above. See the four colored curves; they represent the turning speed of the hips, (red), and ribcage, (green), and the swing speed of the lead arm, (blue), and club, (brown), throughout the whole swing. The most interesting part is the downswing near the middle of the graph. Here you see each curve accelerate (go up) and decelerate (go down). In an efficient, world class swing, as this one is, you will see smooth, sequential acceleration and deceleration of each body part with each peaking higher and later than the previous one, with the club peaking last, exactly at impact. This is commonly known as “cracking the whip”. The Kinematic Sequence can be used to analyze your swing and determine how efficient and powerful you are
