Recently, I went rock climbing with Leigh Allin and several other Exponent coworkers as part of a mentoring group. What do Exponent engineers and scientists think about while rock climbing? Cool science things! We took 15 IMUs along with us and collected quite a bit of biomechanics data while we had our fun. Check out this video showcasing IMU-driven inverse kinematics, OpenSim center of mass analysis, and accelerations of the low back during different types of falls. I'd like to thank my coworkers that helped make this possible, and Exponent for putting together mentoring groups like this. Please reach out to me or Leigh if you're interested in Exponent in general or the applications shown in this video.
