Description

In this episode of the Beyond Motion podcast, we speak with Dr. Clint Hansen, Head of the Neurogeriatrics Research Group at Kiel University Hospital in Germany. Dr. Hansen shares his global journey through sports science, industrial biomechanics, and clinical neurology—highlighting how wearable technology, 3D motion capture, and open-source tools are transforming movement analysis across diverse populations. From assessing Parkinson’s patients at home to building international data collaborations, this episode dives deep into the complexities of human movement, the importance of context in mobility data, and the future of research in neurorehabilitation.
