BIONIKS

Bioniks is an outgrowth of an ongoing, cross-disciplinary collaboration among Jeffrey Lotz, Louis Cheng, Brian Feeley, and Oliver O'Reilly. Our team's long-term goal is to integrate new analytical tools into the clinical care pathway so as to improve understanding of both musculoskeletal and neurologic diseases and cultivate novel, more effective therapies... Bioniks was established in 2012 to commercialize spin-off products of research on the clinical assessment of lower extremities using affordable motion capture technologies. Basic research commenced in earnest as an offshoot from a 2007 National Science Foundation Grant awarded to Lotz and O'Reilly. During the course of their work on spine dynamics, the team developed the ability to obtain accurate kinematic measurements of joint motion with a relatively affordable measurement system featuring the Microsoft Kinect... Bioniks' mission is to bring a new level of sophistication to orthopaedic and neuromuscular medicine with cost..
