biomechZoo: An open-source toolbox for the processing, analysis, and visualization of biomechanical movement data

The field of movement science has a long history  [2], with the advent of the modern computer arguably providing the latest impetus for advances in our understanding of movement. Today, commercial motion capture data collection systems abound and are often packaged with software capable of computing standard biomechanical variables such as joint kinematics and kinetics. Popular examples are the Vicon (Vicon Motion Systems Ltd., Oxford, UK), Qualisys (Qualisys AB, Gotebörg, Sweden), and Motion Analysis (Motion Analysis Corp., Santa Rose, USA) systems.
