Noraxon changed my career. I moved from a piecemeal approach with single measurement devices to an integrated research-grade system that helps me measure the things that matter. I use their dual force plate, IMU, EMG, high speed video system every week to pinpoint trainable deficits and advance my knowledge base. I have confidence in Noraxon. They have made me a better sport scientist and strength coach.

Our goal is to understand sports injuries and improve their prevention and treatment. We use Noraxon’s EMG instruments to help us understand how muscles work and how they relate to proper and improper motions. We need to be sure that we’re getting pure muscle signals and not noise. That’s why this equipment is valuable to us – Glen S. Fleisig, Ph.D., Director of Research, American Sports Medicine Institute
The [Pressure Instrumented Treadmill] is working well as usual and has played a huge role in making our running evaluations successful. We have been using the stance analysis feature a lot more often with our post-ACL patients—it is an excellent biofeedback tool for them, and patients love to see the detailed report the software generates. – Caitlin Pearl, MS, Clinical Biomechanist, National Institute for Athletic Health and Performance at Sanford Medica
EMG biofeedback is a technique used to help a subject better understand and recognize their own muscle tension in real-time. Biofeedback is valuable because it allows a subject to gain more control over the activation or relaxation of their muscles. Noraxon's new Ultium EMG Biofeedback App for Android devices gives clinicians a portable & user-friendly [...]
Digging into the complexity of IMU data processing Working with IMU data can be challenging. Software systems make a number of assumptions and overcoming environmental factors that effect the hardware instrumentation can be difficult. Understanding how your system works can be key to combating software limitations, optimizing hardware specifications, and accurately identifying when something is [...]
We had such a great time at the 2021 Noraxon User Group Meeting. This year we had an incredible lineup of inspiring speakers & Noraxon users from different walks of life. This event gave novice & experienced users a chance to learn, grow, and network with people who they might not otherwise have the chance [...]
The EMG Frequency Fatigue Report is designed for the purpose of tracking and analyzing fatigue-related changes in neuromuscular recruitment. Changes in the frequency (Mean & Median) and amplitude parameters (Zero Crossings & Mean Amplitude) can be used to determine the local muscle fatigue. For instance, EMG frequency power spectrum is expected to shift to lower [...]
Subject's age: 17 Subject's gender: Male Reason for visit: Chronic right peroneal tendon irritation with long distance running. Had been going to outpatient physical therapy for several months with great success but still had pain with running > 6-7 miles. Noraxon hardware used: 9 Pro Research IMU sensors & 2 NiNOX 2D video cameras Key [...]
Subject's age: 17 Subject's gender: Male Reason for visit: IT Band Syndrome in distance running Noraxon hardware used: 3D Motion Capture, NiNOX High-Speed Cameras, Pressure-Instrumented Treadmill Key findings: Pelvic Obliquity, Hip Abduction(adduction) were the parameters we were focusing on. In relation to his IT band syndrome, he demonstrated a contralateral pelvic drop and hip adduction [...]
Subject's age: 19 Subject's gender: Female Reason for visit: Bilateral hip/knee pain. Patient has history of bilateral hip/knee pain. She has recently increased training intensity with running. She is able to run 1 mile before onset of pain. Patient reports that pain has steadily increased. Patient is currently unable to run without bilateral leg pain. [...]
Subject's age: 15 Subject's gender: Female Reason for visit: Increased jump height for better volleyball performance. Noraxon hardware used: Duel force plates & 1 NiNOX high-speed video camera. Key Improvements Shown in Comparison Report: Higher jump height, lower eccentric mean and max KAI. Key findings: Jump height wasn't as high as we wanted, and eccentric [...]
Subject's age: 40 Subject's gender: Female Reason for visit: She has been in Infinite Health program awhile. Training programs have been fluidly adjusted over time, but 12/2020 there was a pivot point to support decision for knee surgery. Training and testing pre and post-operative all the way to return to running were measured and used [...]
Subject's age: 40 Subject's gender: Female Reason for visit: The subject reported to physical therapy initial evaluation with complaints of a 9 month history of right buttock and leg pain as well as numbness and tingling that radiated into her entire right lower extremity. The onset of these pains and paresthesias came after a sprint [...]
