A motion analysis system measures how people move and is often used in sports and rehabilitation to assess performance or injury risk. Traditional systems use cameras or pressure mats, but wearable IMU sensors like Output make testing faster, more portable, and versatile. With research-validated accuracy, Output provides both range of motion assessments and broader movement insights in a single, easy-to-use system.

A goniometer measures joint angles at a single moment, giving a snapshot of range of motion. Output’s wearable IMU sensor captures valid, research-backed joint-by-joint data in real time, including both static and dynamic movement. Its simple setup allows testing across large groups or repeated sessions, giving objective, actionable insights that a traditional goniometer cannot provide.

A proven framework to improve mobility at home is RELEASE · UNLOCK · LOAD. RELEASE tight areas with foam rolling or self-myofascial release, UNLOCK new ranges with active and passive mobility work, and LOAD them through strength exercises. This ensures gains are maintained and transferable. Output’s easy setup and research-backed accuracy let you track joint-by-joint progress over time to see what works.

Stretching can help improve mobility, but it is not enough on its own. The most effective approach combines stretching with strengthening and active control to make changes last. Tracking progress with a system like Output allows you to see which strategies are truly effective, providing objective feedback beyond what traditional tools or subjective feeling can offer.
