The Integrated Motion Analysis Laboratory represents a comprehensive alternative for conducting interventions in the healthcare, academic, and research domains, positioning the institution as a High Technology Center specialized in the diagnosis and care of patients, both children and adults. IMAL stands out as a state-of-the-art system that achieves an objective and detailed record of human body movement. This enables a precise and objective diagnosis of movement disorders in individuals with diseases or alterations affecting the musculoskeletal system.
In addition to its clinical application, The Integrated Motion Analysis Laboratory is employed for the study and refinement of athletic performance, as well as for the evaluation of various types of footwear and equipment used in this context. Moreover, it plays a crucial role in the validation of prosthetics and orthotics, establishing itself as a fundamental tool in the field of health and biomechanics.
BioGait is a Gait Laboratory, based on Artificial Intelligence with Neural Networks, that calculates the kinematics of human body dugait, without the need of using markers on the joins. It belongs to the BIOLAB family that has other modules such as Posture (BIOPOSTURE), Cycling (BIOBike), Running (BIORUN), free measurements (BIOFREE) and Motion Capture (BIOTRACK).
BioBike is a Biomechanics Laboratory for cycling, based on Artificial Intelligence with Neural Networks, which calculates the kinematics of the cyclist, or on the round in simulator. It belongs to the BIOLAB family that has other modules such as Gait (BIOGAIT) Posture (BIOPOSTURE), Running (BIORUN) and free measurements (BIOFREE) and Motion Capture (BIOTRACK). The joint centers of the human body are calculated based on the shape of the biker and its movement, thus eliminating the need for markers and allowing the Bikefitter to be very accurate in his evaluations.
BioRun is a Biomechanics Laboratory for athletics, based on Artificial Intelligence with neural networks, which calculates the kinematics of the runner, both on the track and on the street, without using markers. It belongs to the BIOLAB family that has other modules such as Gait (BIOGAIT) Posture (BIOPOSTURE), Running (BIORUN) and free measurements (BIOFREE) and Motion Capture (BIOTRACK).
BioPosture is a Postural Analysis system, based on Artificial Intelligence and Neural Networks, which calculates the most representative postural parameters of the human body. It belongs to the BIOLAB family that has other modules such as Gait (BIOGAIT), Running (BIORUN), Cycling (BIOBIKE) and free measurements (BIOFREE) and Motion Capture (BIOTRACK).
BioTrack is a system for capturing the movement of the human body (Motion Capture) to later export the coordinates of the joints of the human body to any animation software and video game creation. BioTrack works with a single camera, the data collected are the x (horizontal), Y (vertical) coordinates of the movement in front of the camera.
BioFree is a markerless motion capture system that allows:
• Capture and Evaluate any gesture of the human body in the Sports, Clinical, Ergonomics and Research fields.
• Calculate angles, velocities, accelerations and joint positions.
• Record the same movement from 2 planes simultaneously.
• Compare 2 videos with CROSSFADE: ideal to evaluate the same gesture of 2 athletes, or the same athlete before and after a technique correction or treatment.

Biomechanics is a scientific discipline that investigates the intricate movement patterns of the human body, exploring the coordinated interplay of muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments. As an integral aspect of kinesiology, Biomechanics specifically delves into the mechanics governing bodily motion. In essence, it entails the systematic study and analysis of how each component within the body collaborates to orchestrate both athletic performances and everyday movements.
The scope of Biomechanics extends beyond the examination of bones and muscles; it encompasses an in-depth exploration of their structural characteristics and the resultant range of movements. Additionally, Biomechanics delves into the mechanics underlying vital physiological processes such as blood circulation, renal function, and other bodily functions. According to the European Society of Biomechanics, Biomechanics is defined as "the study of forces acting on and generated within a body, and the effects of these forces on the tissues, fluid, or materials used for the purposes of diagnosis, treatment, or research."
In the context of specialized biomechanics software offered by Biomec, the understanding and application of these principles become paramount in optimizing athletic performance, rehabilitation, and scientific research.
