意大利BTS Bioengineering
意大利 BTS 公司成立于 1986 年，衍生于意大利位于米兰的工业研究生物工程中心，早期的目标主要在为神经方面发生问题的病患，研发出创新的运动侦测技术，迄今在全世界的 40 个国家中，已于超过 340 位客户共同合作，每年都有为数过万的病患以 BTS 步态和运动分析系统进行临床的评估，获得生物力学和神经肌肉参数结合的定量分析数据。
Smart D 三维高频运动分析撷取系统（motion capture）可进行骨科（成人或小儿）、康复医疗的下肢步态或是上肢动作控制的评估与体育动作改善的依据，目前已经是公认极具效果的评估工具，搭配 BTS 肌电讯号撷取设备（Electromyography, EMG）以及多轴测力台（Forceplate）所建构的运动分析综合评估系统，更可以提供肌肉活动以及推算关节中心合力及合力矩之详细讯息。 目前对于病患步态的康复分析还未有效的进行评估，BTS 系统可以对病患的运动康复方面提供完整的临床报告评估，并可详细的显示病患康复阶段的状况，从而帮助医生了解评估并为病患制定更准确康复计划。此系统已广泛使用于康复效益评估及手术前后效益评估(如上)。医学领域中，在骨科、康复、矫形外科，神经病学和运动学的应用上，是一个能够提供临床诊断报告的完整医学设备，能够“量化”的评价病患在运动的相关数据，可协助医生们对病患采取最佳对策 而就体育动作改善而言,运动员在运动过程中易因为运动姿势不当造成运动伤害或运动成绩的下降。利用运动分析综合评估系统可以对运动员运动的姿势以及运动的舒适度进行矫正，不仅可以避免运动时由于姿势不当所带来的伤害、而且可以通过评估来提高运动员的运动成绩。
BTS Spa was founded in 1986 as a spin-off of the Bioengineering Centre of the Fondazione Don Gnocchi and of the Polytechnic of Milan.
The objective of the start-up was the industrial exploitation of innovative methods for the analysis of movement developed by researchers of the Bioengineering Centre.
In 1999 the company was bought by TC Sistema Spa.
In 2004 the company was acquired by 12 employees and 3 external entrepreneurs with a management buy-out operation.
Currently BTS is a world leader in the technologies of movement analysis.

BTS for medicine
Hospitals, Treatment Centres and Rehabilitation Clinics use BTS movement analysis systems to evaluate the best cures for movement dysfunctions and the real efficacy of rehabilitation treatments. Medical personnel obtain by quick, accurate and non invasive means a detailed quantitative analysis complete with the biomechanical and myoneural parameters of the patient. BTS's movement analysis systems currently support the clinical treatment of over 10,000 patients per year.

BTS for research
The most prestigious scientific and university institutes use BTS systems for research in the fields of biomechanics, biometrics, diagnostics and motor sciences. BTS technology has been used in the most important space programs, and BTS systems have been installed on the Spacelab and MIR stations. NASA, ESA and CNRS use BTS systems in the parabolic flight programs and for a series of experiments of the International Space Station Program.

BTS for sport
BTS systems are used by several sports medicine organizations with the specific objective of maximizing the performance of athletes, preventing injury and improving the effectiveness of post-traumatic rehabilitation. Systems are also used by prestigious soccer clubs such as AC Milan and Real Madrid FC for routine evaluations of players.
