Visual3DServer Tutorials Setup Checklist

Before Patient's Arrival

Turn on ALL systems

Verify Position and Orientation of cameras

Verify the position and orientation of Motion Capture Cameras

Verify the position and orientation of Force Platforms

Verify the position and orientation of Force Structures

Verify the position and orientation of Obstacles or Environment objects

Perform System Calibration

Perform static and/or dynamic calibrations of data collection devices

Verify results against the standards developed/referenced by your laboratory

Verify the protocol being used for the session

Verify the experimental protocol for the current data collection session

Set appropriate system settings

As per experimental protocol, set and verify system settings

e.g. sampling rates (synchronise), marker thresholds, ranges, triggers etc.

Perform CalTester test

Perform Caltester test at a minimum of 2 locations on each force platform

Verify against prior laboratory results

Prepare necessary markers and supplies

Patient's Arrival

Obtain informed consent

Record subject details

Insure that there are no contraindications for the patient completing the data collection

This may include data collection done via questionnaires or measurements

If data collection includes patient questionnaires check to make sure that they have been completed correctly

Apply markers/IMUs/EMGs as per experimental protocol

Take a set of digital pictures of the subject for post-hoc review of the marker placement.

Record static calibration trial

Ensure all markers are visible

Verify recorded marker set

Verify recorded marker set by launching Visual3D, creating model, and applying model template appropriate for the protocol

Remove anatomical markers

If necessary, remove anatomical markers not needed for tracking in motion trials

Set the software system to broadcast the data

Each manufacturer has their own method of turning on the broadcasting option in their software

Check your software/hardware system's user's manual for more information

After Patient Leaves

Clean up work station

Save data as appropriate
