Setup Checklist
Before Patient's Arrival
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
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
