The IDS camera, connected to a powerful laptop via USB 3.0, transfers the data using free motion analysis software. In high quality and with high frequency (60fps) changes of the joint angles are recorded exactly and without any distortion. While the cyclist pedals with different intensity and in different positions, the camera captures the motion sequence. "The system is based on practical experience and exchanges with fitness trainers, osteopaths and doctors from the world of cycling, on the theoretical examination of scientific findings and on common sense," explains Managing Director Alban Renaud.įor analysis, the professional's bicycle is fixed in a roller trainer¤ An IDS camera is positioned exactly parallel to the bike and rider to record this set in a two-dimensional X-Y axis. The bike fitting specialist combines static, dynamic and perceptive analysis methods.

In collaboration with the professional racing bike team Vital Concept B&B Hotels, AR-Entraînement has developed an analysis system that is used primarily in their performance center. This is because every cyclist has different requirements, both in terms of physical conditions such as body size, lever length of the extremities or weight, and in terms of physical and coordinative abilities, such as mobility. The French bike fitting specialist AR-Entraînement focuses primarily on the evaluation of the specific performance requirements and physical abilities of the individual cyclists. The most diverse bike fitting methods are now used to adapt the bike to the individual needs of the athlete. In addition to avoiding pain or even injuries, any increase in performance plays a major role in professional sport. This can lead to functional and biomechanical dysfunctions and thus be the cause of pain and injuries, combined with a drop in performance and training standstill.Īccording to a study (Clarsen Krosshaug, 2010), professional cyclists often complain of pain, especially in the back (85%) or in the knees (57%). The repetitive movement of pedalling places great demands on tendons and joints.
Under exertion, however, it exposes the body to considerable mechanical stress: 10 hours of cycling means 54,000 pedal strokes and as many bends of the knee, hip, postural muscles and joint restrictions. CONCLUSION: Although we proved it is technically possible to use the Kinovea system in retrospective analysis of surgical movement in robot-assisted surgery, the acquired data do not give a comprehensive enough analysis of the video to be used in skills assessment.Bikefitting system with IDS camera leads professional athletes to successĬycling is a popular sport. On average, it lasted 4 hours of continued monitoring by the researcher to assess one RARP using Kinovea. RESULTS: Data analysis showed Kinovea was on average able to automatically assess only 22% of the total surgical duration per video of the robot-assisted surgery. METHODS: Twelve entire RARP procedures were analysed by a trained researcher using the computer programme "Kinovea" to perform semi-automated assessment of surgical movements. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of using a computer programme (Kinovea) for objective assessment of surgical movements in previously recorded in existing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) videos.
