AMM Certification

AMM 3D-Golf Motion Analysis Seminars

AMM now offers seminars to improve your knowledge of 3D Motion Capture and Analysis Techniques for the golf swing. The seminars are held at the AMM offices in sunny Phoenix, Arizona.

They include:

TPI 3D Biomechanics Report Interpretation
AMM 3D-Golf Motion Capture and Biofeedback Procedures

These are two one-day seminars presented by Phil Cheetham co-developer of TPI 3D and Stephen Cheetham co-owner of AMM, Inc. They can be taken together or separately; together they provide full training for AMM 3D-Golf system owners; separately they provide specific training in either motion capture techniques or TPI 3D report interpretation. The successful participant will receive AMM 3D-Golf Level 1 Certification.

TPI 3D Biomechanics Report Interpretation Seminar

This is a one day seminar designed for TPI Certified Golf Fitness Instructors. Whether you are Level 1, 2 or 3; medical, fitness or golf pro; if you want to be able to interpret and understand the 3D Biomechanics report produced by TPI 3D then this seminar is for you.  The seminar is outlined below and on passing a brief test you will be certified as an:

Motion Analysis Specialist
Level 1

Introduction to TPI 3D Analyzer:

Looking at swings in 3D
Opening the Comparison Table
Changing Databases
Viewing Graphs and Layouts
Generating Reports
Sharing Swings with Others

The Kinematic Sequence:

Learn the difference between efficiency and style
Understand several analogies: Whip, Acrobat, Rocket Ship, Car Transmission
See Acceleration Variations and their causes
Learn the relationship to the Big 12 Swing Characteristics

The 3D Comprehensive Biomechanics Report:

Kinematic Sequence - Backswing, Transition, Downswing
The Joints and Joint Loading - Core, Shoulder, Wrist
Trunk Dynamic Stability
Dynamic Range of Motion
Body Positions at Address, Top, Impact and Finish
Tempo
Interpretation of images, graphs and tables on each page
Relationships to TPI Level 1 Screen

AMM 3D-Golf Motion Capture and Biofeedback Procedures

This is a one day seminar designed for AMM 3D-Golf system owners and anyone who wishes to learn how to capture golf swing motion using the AMM full-body 12-sensor electromagnetic motion capture system. Real-time biofeedback training techniques will also be taught. This is a hands-on seminar and each successful participant will setup and capture a golfer’s swing on the system. The seminar is outlined below and on passing the practical test you will be certified as an:

AMM 3D-Golf Certified
Motion Capture Specialist
Level 1

Overview of System Hardware and Software:

Electromagnetic Tracking Technology, Transmitter and Sensors
6 degrees-of-freedom versus 3 degrees-of-freedom
Sensor versus Anatomical Reference Frames
Installing Hardware Driver Software and Connecting to Laptop
Installing AMM 3D-Golf and TPI 3D
4, 8 and 12 Sensor Systems

Setting-up the Golfer and Capturing Swings:

Attaching sensors
Aligning the golfer by digitizing body points
Capturing Multiple Swings
Reviewing Simple and Advanced Graph Layouts
The Kinematic Sequence Graph
The Body Stability Graphs
Displaying the Comparison Table
Creating Various Types of TPI 3D Reports
Comparing to PGA, LPGA and Champions Tour Databases
Setting Up a Golfer Database

Real-Time Biofeedback:

Visual Feedback
Audio Feedback
Positive versus Negative Tones
Correcting the Big 12 Swing Faults with Biofeedback

For the AMM 3D-Golf System owners and purchasers it is essential that both days be taken to become:

AMM 3D-Golf Certified Motion Biomechanics Specialist Level 1
Motion Biomechanics Specialist
Level 1
