Module 1 Wrap-up

In this module, we discovered how 3D motion analysis technology was developed, how it is applied in both sport and clinical settings, and the specific impact it has had on the sport of golf.

Answer the following self check questions to monitor your understanding of the material presented thus far.

Self check questions:

1. The level of accuracy within 3D motion analysis systems is so great that doctors are using them to help determine treatment options for patients with Cerebral Palsy.

Correct.

With a level of accuracy within 1 degree, doctors are using 3D to determine the best possible treatment plans. (See the page: Performance Analysis Technology)

Incorrect.

The correct answer is true. With a level of accuracy within 1 degree, doctors are using 3D to determine the best possible treatment plans. (See the page: Performance Analysis Technology)

2. The use of 3D motion capture systems should be limited to the best players in the world.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is false. Although the world’s best players already use 3D motion analysis systems, the collegiate golfer, better amateurs, and even the “average” golfer can often gain from the use of these systems as well. (See the page: What is 3D motion analysis?)

Correct.
