VATS™ (Vibration Analysis ToolSet)
We have completed our beta testing for Version 4 and thank all those who participated and provided feedback.
Existing VATS customers can contact us to try the new version and to request upgrade pricing.
VATS is available for either hand-arm or whole body analysis. Hand-arm vibration analysis is based on the ISO 5349 and ACGIH standard for hand arm vibration (HAV). Whole body vibration analysis is based on the ISO 2631-1, 2631-5 (2004 and 2018), BS 6841, and ACGIH standard for whole body vibration (WBV).
Our VATS data logger supports multiple accelerometers as well as other sensors such as FSRs.
VATS software can be purchased as a stand-alone software product to import acceleration data to be analyzed from other systems.

HumanCAD®
We are continuing our testing of our latest beta version and expect to have our commercial release of V6 before the end of 2021.
Version 6 includes a new balance feature, more databases, new clothing features and other updates. In ErgoTools we have added the Hand Strength MAE (Maximum Acceptable Efforts) and AFF (Arm Force Field) methods. Additional databases and ROM data have been added to the child module. As well, a new optional Elderly module has also been released.
Customers on annual maintenance can receive the Beta version and their feedback is greatly appreciated.

HumanCAD-MQSW
We expect to release an Alpha version of MQSW Version 2 in our second quarter. MQSW is a SOLIDWORKS® plug-in. Current product information is on our website.
HM-Analyzer for Xsens MVN systems
We are pleased to announce that our HM-Analyzer software is available for the MVN Awinda Starter and MVN Awinda systems.
Our powerful but easy to use HM-Analyzer software that runs on Xsens MTw Awinda systems also runs on Xsens MVN systems. It provides the user with considerable flexibility in which joints they want to analyze as well as multiple joint angle conventions, pose calibration options and a variety of analysis tools.
MVN customers can contact us for details and to obtain a software trial.

Balance Sensor Mats for Athletics
We are pleased to announce our distribution of the BodiTrak Balance Systems that enable you to analyze ground reaction forces, center of pressure displacement, dynamic vertical forces, and sway.
Help your athletes optimize ground mechanics for immediate movement and performance improvements. Ground mechanics not only shows you how much, but how. Every move your athlete makes will reflect in how they use the ground.
Key features:
- Built-in static and dynamic assessments
- Standing Bilateral Balance
- Single Leg Balance, Squat and Vertical Jump

Biometrics Ltd. Products
For applications where variable inter-electrode distance is desired, the new DataLITE Wireless EMG Amplifier (LE230FW) has two flying wire leads for use with any reusable or disposable SEMG electrode incorporating a 4mm snap. The maximum inter-electrode distance is 170mm and the minimum distance is dependent upon the size of the electrodes used.
The sensor has two powerful additional features, allowing the researcher greater flexibility in adjusting the hardware to meet specific applications.
- The user has full control over the bandwidth of the sensor from 10Hz to 250Hz through to 10Hz to 5000Hz.
- Increase the sensitivity of the Amplifier with a choice of five settings giving peak to peak measurements ranging from ± 60 microvolts to ± 6 millivolts.
 The fully wireless DataLITE system uses a sophisticated WIFI communication protocol, which hops RF channel to minimise the potential for data loss. Up to 16 sensors for up to 24 channels of data can be connected to a single wireless interface. These sensors can be any combination of goniometers, torsiometers, EMG sensors, accelerometers, or force sensors (dynamometer, pinchmeter, myometer, forceplates, in line or s-beam load cells).The fully wireless DataLITE system uses a sophisticated WIFI communication protocol, which hops RF channel to minimise the potential for data loss.

HM-Analyzer
Our HM-Analyzer Version 5 final Beta version is available for customer testing, evaluation and purchase. This new version includes:
- Additional file export coordinate options
- Range of Motion scoring added for the AAOS convention. The user can assign their own ranges of motion to score the movement against now using either ISB or AAOS conventions. This scoring is by segment and the user can assign the joint angle ranges with a corresponding color code assigned by the analyst. Results are displayed as a histogram. The customer will also be able to print the histograms for their movements.
- New Ergo-Analyzer module with RULA and OWAS
HM-Analyzer runs on Xsens MTw Awinda IMU systems, Xsens MVN systems, APDM and I2M IMUs. Existing customers can contact us to try the new version. NexGen also provides complete solutions of HM-Analyzer with various IMU options. |
