The Swiss Center for Movement Analysis (SCMA), located at the Balgrist Campus in Zurich, Switzerland, is an open-access platform dedicated to quantitative clinical movement analysis. Combining cutting-edge technology with scientific expertise, we deliver optimized, customized, and precise movement assessments.
Our facility is ideally equipped to quantify the impact of interventions on movement capacity. We offer a comprehensive range of advanced assessment techniques, including 3D motion capture for detailed kinematic analysis, electromyography to measure muscle activity, force plate systems to evaluate ground reaction forces, and spiroergometric analysis to assess the metabolic cost of movement.
A specialized body weight support system allows accurate assessment and training of walking even in individuals with motor impairments. With immersive tools such as the GRAIL system, we can replicate daily-life movements in realistic scenarios, ensuring that research findings translate effectively into everyday applications.
From study design and data acquisition to publication, the SCMA provides comprehensive support for every stage of your research, helping you turn innovative ideas into impactful results.
