My dissertation work with the Moticon sensor insoles, funded in part by the National Science Foundation, is situated at the intersection between biomechanics research and clinical orthopaedics, with applications towards rehabilitation medicine. The insoles allow us to take our work outside the laboratory and access environments and terrains that are not possible to reproduce in a lab. Moticon’s product balances engineering and science, with a clear understanding of customer needs. Their support team is both responsive and accommodating when we need specific product details for academic publications.

I like most the good compromise between ease of applicability and usefulness of the scientific data – This is especially good for me. On top, for me as a professor, there is always this topic entrepreneurship and how this is working. I can only say that it works, but it is not easy – you have to really fight and you have to know that the day is not finished after 10 hours. Especially the first phase, the first years and the bridging time between the ideas and results at the University, until the point that there is something on the market is extremely hard. And I was always very impressed how the boys did this.

We work with Moticon products in training routines because of the simple setup without much preparation effort. I like the realization of the vision of wireless measurements with low effort and little interference for the athletes as well as the company’s excellent customer support

Innovative, technologically brilliant – an important step in comprehending post-op patient activity for clinical research. For the first time, we were able to track continuous load profiles across complete healing processes of lower limb fractures.
