Wheelchair rugby Wheelchair rugby, also known as “murderball” is a thrilling sport for people with physical disabilities. The sport originated in 1977 and first featured at the 2000 Paralympic Games. Athletes compete in teams of four to carry the ball over the opponent’s try line. Contact between wheelchairs is allowed, and is an integral part […]

Measuring respiratory frequency, i.e. breathing rate, offers benefits in monitoring both health and disease. Determining respiratory rate is also important in sports science, e.g. in defining ventilatory thresholds and exercise intensity. There are several ways to detect breathing frequency, such as breathing gas analysis, mechanical stretch sensors, breathing sound analysis, and optical blood measurement, i.e. […]

Sports Tech Research Network is an initiative of the sports innovation consortium at Ghent University, Belgium.

Kaasa is offering its expertise to Movesense customers who need software resources for their own projects, but the company also has its own products, many of which help developers and researchers to use Movesense sensors efficiently. Kaasa is […]

Atrial fibrillation, also called AFib or AF, is the most common type of treated heart arrhythmia. AF increases a person’s risk for stroke. Strokes caused by complications from AF are usually more severe than strokes with other causes. However, with timely detection and treatment of AF, the stroke risk can be remarkably reduced. The risk […]

It measures heart rate, single channel ECG, and movement with 9-axis inertial measurement unit. The sensor can be programmed to meet the needs of various use cases ranging from clinical assessment to health monitoring in home environment. With roots in […]

Good balance is an essential element of human performance for everyone in daily life and is something most of us take for granted. When balance and movement become impaired though, for instance after a trauma or sports related concussion (SRC), age-related degeneration, lower limb injuries, or osteoarthritis, the impact can be far-reaching. Measuring and understanding […]

Concussion affects performance Sport related concussion (SRC) affects human performance in many ways. There is a need to improve the clinical identification and management processes of concussions. This thesis studied the multimodal performance-based measurements in SRC of Finnish professional male ice hockey players aged 16 to 40 years (years 2009-2010, n=113; 2012-2014, n=185). The first […]
