Method for producing a protocol, method for producing a protocol for assessing a particular aspect of a human's physical performance, method for measuring and evaluating a particular human physical capacity, method for associating a distinct designation with a particular physical ability an individual's system for transforming human movement data into a computer-readable, objective assessment that contains computer-executable instructions
Motion Analysis is used to classify or rate human capability in a physical domain via a minimized movement and data collection protocol producing a discreet, overall figure of merit of the selected physical capability. The minimal protocol is determined by data mining of a more extensive movement and data collection. Protocols are relevant in medical, sports and occupational applications. Kinematic, kinetic, body type, Electromyography (EMG), Ground Reactive Force (GRF), demographic, and psychological data are encompassed. Resulting protocols are capable of transforming raw data representing specific human motions into an objective rating of a skill or capability related to those motions.
