Researchers analyze walking patterns using 3D technology in community settings

By Nadine A Yehya

(SACRAMENTO) A new study by UC Davis Health researchers reveals that a new technology for three-dimensional (3D) movement analysis may have widespread use in health clinics and the community. Known as markerless motion capture (MLMC), the technology provides detailed 3D analysis of the body’s walking pattern, or gait, to help identify neurological conditions, such as Parkinson's disease.
