Motion Lab Systems has been designing and building reliable, research quality, multi-channel EMG systems since 1987 for use in the human motion capture and Clinical EMG research environments. Our logo depicts a child walking out of a gait laboratory and represents the purpose for which this company was formed, to help clinicians and researchers develop tools and treatments that help people with disabilities and injuries live better lives. One of our first MA-100 EMG systems was used by Dr. Murali Kadaba, HK Ramakrishnan, and Mary Wootten in the Helen Hayes Hospital gait lab, collecting EMG data for some of the classic papers that have since defined modern gait analysis.

Our multi-channel electromyography systems connect directly to virtually all 3D motion capture and data collection systems and have FDA510(k) clearance for human clinical use, for both surface EMG and fine-wire EMG recordings, which we achieved by demonstrating to the FDA that our systems are intrinsically safe, biocompatible, and accurate. Motion Lab Systems has a reputation for customer support and service that is unrivaled in the biomechanics, EMG, functional electrical stimulation (FES), repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), research, and clinical gait environments. The exceptional quality of our instrumentation allows our users to collect clean signals, analyze the data, and produce accurate reports quickly and efficiently. The design of our systems eliminates the risk of all device driver software update issues and any network or device access security risks at all levels.

Motion Lab Systems offers a range of EMG preamplifiers for both stand-alone individual use, as well as extending the ability of our EMG systems to collect data in many different environments. All systems are designed to work with surface EMG and clinical fine-wire gait EMG recordings as well as TMS research. While our preamplifiers are designed to be used with our EMG systems, they are also fully supported and often used individually in research environments.

In addition we offer quality assurance and calibration control devices for use in any Gait Analysis Lab or Motion Analysis Laboratory. Motion Lab Systems is a leading sponsor of the C3D file standard and supports the exchange and interchange of data between different systems using both C3D and CAMARC DST formats. We offer a range of software applications for C3D and CAMARC files including EMG Analysis, EMG graphing, C3D file editors, C3D file viewers and C3D program development software, as well as ASCII data export software for C3D and CAMARC files.

Motion Lab Systems offers a range of advanced EMG and C3D software as well as various accessories for use in biomechanics, gait and motion laboratories worldwide. Motion Lab Systems is a user driven company that strives to exceed all expectations. We have been supporting the C3D biomechanics file standard since its introduction by providing full public documentation at no charge to end-users and manufacturers (even manufacturers who consider themselves our competitors).

In addition to building high quality clinical EMG systems, Motion Lab Systems is dedicated helping all 3D motion capture users generate high quality data by offering the MTD3 force and kinematics data calibration system that enables quick and easy verification of the 3D data collection environment in combination with the C-Motion CalTester software, written specifically for our device.

Virtually all 3D data collection systems that process data for clinical gait analysis support the use of Knee Alignment Devices (KADs) which we have been making since the early 1990's based on the original Newington Children's Hospital KAD design that allows kinesiologists or physical therapists to define the knee rotation axis for clinical subjects, eliminating the varus/valgus errors that often appeared due to marker location errors when a KAD was not used.
