Scientists want to use motion-capture suits in their practice to study diseases that are associated with movement disorders.
Scientists have figured out how to use technology used in the movie industry. For example, British scientists said that the suits used by actors in the movie Avatar could be used to study severe diseases that are associated with movement disorders.
With the help of motion-capture suits, scientists want to learn how to capture subtle movements that humans cannot catch. According to Professor Aldo Feisal of Imperial College, this will help change clinical trials and allow for more accurate diagnosis and monitoring of patients, Nature Medicine magazine writes.
In particular, with the help of sensors, doctors will be able to quickly assess a patient's condition and determine what treatment he or she needs.
