Lasse Roren, Senior Product Specialist, Vicon

Vicon aims to be at the forefront of Markerless Motion Capture. After a thorough R&D phase, Vicon launched its first commercial product for the entertainment sector in March 2025, following a successful beta phase and VFX Pioneer Program.  

Vicon is now preparing to bring its Markerless innovations to the life sciences community. Building on, and complementing our partnership with Theia, this presentation will announce how the ESMAC community can collaborate with Vicon, as we embark on examining in greater detail how Markerless capture will meet the specific needs of human movement science.  

Vicon will also provide a brief update of additional innovation and recent product launches. With Vicon’s new Active Wand, the most reliable and consistent calibration just got faster and easier. And with Nexus 2.17, significant improvements to FLIR integration, refined Theia automation, and support for the new Valkyrie VK6 is now available.

Moveshelf – The Logical Choice for Clinical Movement Analysis
Johannes Gijsbers, VP of Product, Moveshelf

Moveshelf is the market leading information system for movement analysis. Moveshelf is the logical choice for clinical movement analysis laboratories, because:

• Moveshelf lets you store measurements, analyze reports, and access wherever you work.
• Store measurements from any motion analysis laboratory, as we integrate with all leading manufacturers of movement analysis technology.
• Analyze reports. Our interactive reports and Word reports have all the visualizations that are needed to do clinical movement analysis.
• Access wherever you work. No need to install software, all you and your team need is a web browser. And if your organization has an Electronic Health Record, we can make it possible to open the right patient with just one click.
• Moveshelf is certified, secure & compliant. We demonstrate our commitment to information security by obtaining and maintaining the ISO27001 and NEN7510 information security certifications. 
• You can benefit from the expertise Moveshelf has built up working with world-class organizations. We built Moveshelf in close collaboration with leading organizations in the field of clinical movement analysis.
• A professional vendor can free up internal resources and ensure continuity. Maintaining in-house systems can be a significant burden on a motion lab team and understaffed clinical IT departments.

The use of the NEURO SWING system ankle joint in vascular diseases
Daniel Sabbagh

FIOR & GENTZ develops and distributes system parts for manufacturing neuro-orthoses used in patients with neurological gait disorders. In addition to developing innovative products, another goal is to discover new fields of application for neuro-orthoses and the system joints used in them, such as the NEURO SWING system ankle joint. A new area of application is the use of the NEURO SWING system ankle joint in patients with partial foot amputations or vascular diseases (e. g. diabetic foot syndrome and PAD). Such a dynamic system ankle joint fulfills two basic requirements of these patients:

1) Compensation for paralysis or instabilities by restoring the functional forefoot lever: Gait disorders caused by underlying neurological and vascular diseases often have a common cause: the muscles are unable to generate joint-stabilizing moments in the knee and ankle. At the ankle level, the forefoot lever has a functional influence on safe standing and physiological walking. Since the patient is unable to activate the physiological forefoot lever at their disposal, that activation must be replaced by the mechanical forefoot lever provided by the orthosis. This is also applicable if the patient has lost both muscular and bony structures for the anatomical forefoot lever due to a partial foot amputation.

2) Protection of the foot and residual by minimizing plantar foot pressure in case of vascular disorders and/or partial foot amputation: The provision of medical aids for circulatory disorders aims to distribute pressure peaks in the foot area in order to prevent necrosis and tissue death. Own studies have shown that, unlike soft, customized insoles, an AFO with the NEURO SWING system ankle joint does not distribute plantar foot pressure but rather minimizes it. They are therefore ideal to use in combination with such insoles for patients with vascular disorders like diabetic foot syndrome or PAD.

Both requirements can only be fulfilled if the orthosis has pre-compressed spring units, as in the NEURO SWING system ankle joint, and if the orthosis shell and the foot piece are built completely rigid.

Moveck – Harmonizing movement data for the next generation of clinical movement analysis
Arnaud Barré, CEO of Moveck Solution, developer of the Biomechanical ToolKit (BTK) and Mokka applications

Movement analysis technologies are evolving rapidly, from marker-based to markerless capture, wearable sensors, and AI-driven algorithms. Yet, without harmonized, well-structured data, it remains difficult to ensure interoperability, comparability, and reliable clinical applications.

Moveck builds on more than a decade of experience, continuing the vision that inspired the creation of Mokka and the Biomechanical ToolKit: to provide the biomechanics community with accessible, high-quality tools. Ten years later, we deliver updated versions and complementary applications that are more modular, scalable, and capable of supporting both technological advances and evolving analytical approaches.

Our work focuses on four key axes:

1. Data Structure & Harmonization

Robust biomechanical modelling  (CGM / IOR / ISB / …) enabling seamless integration of diverse acquisition systems and guaranteeing certifiable results across sites, with a strong focus on customization and visualization of configured pipelines to provide greater transparency of specifications.

2. Processing & Quality Tools

Advanced cleaning, event-detection workflows, and real-time calculation features to improve data quality and accelerate analysis.

3. Visualization & Collaboration

Flexible visualization tools that adapt to different audiences, from research to clinical practice, and enable centralized, multi-site data sharing.

4. Commitment to the Community

Updated, accessible releases of the Biomechanical ToolKit (BTK) and Mokka for students and the broader community, preserving their original mission while expanding capabilities for today’s challenges.
