“We’ve always believed in assessment-based individualized training. […] We decided to go with Simi’s markerless motion capture technology to serve as the cornerstone piece for our assessment process. What really stood out to us from the markerless standpoint was the efficiency. The efficiency of markerless motion capture allows us to capture a ton of different pitchers on the same day. […] Markerless has done wonders for us. […] It’s helped us to learn more about each individual’s movement strategies. […] It’s really helped us to remove the guesswork. […] Through the help of Simi it has been a phenomenal process.”

Austin Meine, Director of Pitching at
Premier Pitching and Performance, St. Louis

"I've used marker-based motion capture systems for human movement analysis for over 10 years and recently switched to the markerless system from Simi Reality Motion Systems. I couldn't be happier! The preparation time is significantly reduced because I no longer need to apply markers to the participant or worry about them falling off during testing. Moreover, I can now extract whole-body kinematics and kinetics without applying a full marker set, providing me with a more in-depth movement analysis without increasing testing time. Additionally, post-processing time is reduced and I can quickly and easily perform desired calculations and generate reports."

"The Simi Aktisys 2D system has transformed the way we evaluate running gait in our outpatient physical therapy clinic. The Simi system allows us to document joint angles at key points in the running gait cycle and quantify this information.
In addition, the high speed 2-camera system captures compensatory movement patterns which the patient can see in real time and via PDF reports. Our customers have been very pleased with the useful information they received as a consequence of the accurate, objective data and visual findings. As physical therapists, we are now able to utilize the Simi Aktisys 2D system to evaluate the true cause of running injury and dysfunction."

"Our team of physical therapists, chiropractors and movement specialists uses SIMI Aktisys software on a daily basis to identify and objectively evaluate faulty movement patterns for our patients.
SIMI allows us a real-time analysis of an individual's movement from any perspective. We can observe quantifiable data, such as joint angles and left to right asymmetries and view the video also in slow motion over and over.
One of the many great benefits about this software is that it can be applied to our large variety of patients, be it professional athletes, runners or patients suffering from degenerative diseases and other age related issues.
With SIMI we have added valuable diagnostic tools that we can use in conjunction with our previous methods to provide patients with the  best chance of getting healthy and staying healthy."

"In my experience, the Simi Aktisys software is the best real-time, high speed motion analysis system out there. The product can be used for a variety of individuals, ranging from recreational runners to high level athletes. Aktisys allows us to quantify and visually assess an athlete in motion, which is something that cannot be done accurately without a system like Simi. With the objective data we obtain from the software, we are able to design a plan of care that is both efficient and specific to the individual's needs. Without it, we would just be guessing."

"We are a physical therapy department for a non-profit pediatric facility. The Simi Aktisys has helped us analyze the gait pattern in a number of children with a variety of different diagnoses and ages. We have been able to use the Simi Aktisys to capture a child’s gait on video and measure the different phases of the gait cycle in real time and compare them to a ‘normal gait pattern’. This has helped us focus our physical therapy treatment in helping correct these gait abnormalities and helping a child walk with the best gait mechanics possible."

"Our studies examining the neural mechanisms of gait and postural control in people with Parkinson's disease use an 8-camera SIMI Reality Motion System. The analysis of high-speed video images, synchronized with force plates and 10-channel wireless EMG provides us with important insight into the spatial and temporal sequence of events that lead to freezing of gait and start hesitation in people with Parkinson's disease. These data have been presented at the International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders in June 2014."

Dr. Colum MacKinnon
University of Minnesota, Department of Neurology

"Our practice frequently uses the Simi Motion analysis in evaluation of gait and movement dysfunction in our clients with neurologic injuries and degenerative diseases. It is easy and quick to implement and the real-time analysis provides us and our clients with immediate feedback. It is an essential tool in our evaluation for rehabilitation and also to optimize performance for wellness in chronic disease."

Heeluxe is a small research lab in Santa Barbara, USA. Heeluxe is active in the field of shoe research and testing. Many of today's shoes and footwear you can find in stores have been examined on their effectiveness and quality by Heeluxe. Especially new laws bring shoe companies to scientifically validate what is promised and find out about any negative effects of footwear on biomechanics.

Watch the video about Heeluxe' work with Simi Motion:

This video shows how Dr. Geoffrey A. Gray from Heeluxe used latest biomechanical methods to validate the shoe development goals of Teva with the help of Simi.

"We are a small human performance laboratory that routinely performs biomechanical studies in a variety of indoor and outdoor settings, including athletic venues, weight rooms and the lab. Since we needed a versatile and yet powerful system, we chose SIMI Motion in 2004 and have been using it ever since. We have been very pleased with its capabilities and have always greatly appreciated the prompt, courteous and competent product support over the years. Thank you for your versatile and powerful product."

"We use the Simi software program to analyze dynamics of prey capture in the cuttlefish. The system has been great to use and allowed us to gather all the data we need. Once trained, its easily accessible for all levels of researchers and students – the program has been heavily used by undergraduates for data analysis. One concern when buying equipment/purchasing software is the level of support you get once the product has been paid for – on this front Simi has been amazing! All questions are answered quickly and Benedikt is always willing to travel or give online support when extra help is needed. I highly recommend this product!"

"Shortly after I began my training as a clinical biomechanics PhD student I realized the 'gap' between the biomechanics lab and the PT clinic in terms of technology. I knew that in order for clinical practice to advance, an affordable and efficient application of innovative technology designed specifically for clinicians was required. The SIMI Aktisys2D system is that technology. Along with my SIMI system, I’ve been able to purchase a Delsys Trigno wireless EMG system, and the two have integrated nicely into my part-time PT practice. I get to enjoy improved objectivity in my assessments, while my patients benefit from various forms of specific movement feedback essential to movement re-education. Also, the SIMI technicians are eager to hear my feedback as they’re constantly looking for ways to improve the clinical usability of this system."

"We selected a Simi system when renewing our motion analysis system. We were looking for a versatile system for sports with quick and high-quality analysis and feedback options. The Simi system fits us perfectly, enabling us to work efficiently with various sports and different demands (indoor/outdoor, with/without markers, etc.). The automatic marker tracking by using either Simi Motion or the real-time tracking in the new Simi Aktisys software is of particular benefit to us and has been greatly appreciated by the athletes and coaches, our national team javelin throwers for example. The Simi system delivers quick feedback about performance during the training session - this used to take hours or even days before."
