XROMM PUTS BIOMECHANICS ON THE FAST TRACK

The video explores the study of turtle biomechanics and the development of XROMM technology by Elizabeth Brainerd's team at Brown University. XROMM combines CAT scan and X-ray technology to create 3D visualizations of animal movement. The technology is being adopted by other labs, and Brainerd is enhancing software to meet demand. The video also covers research on turtle locomotion led by Richard Blob and human biomechanics studies comparing male and female athletes. An open-source database is being developed to share XROMM visualizations among labs.
