Posted on October 31, 2024
Innervations is a company that has been at the forefront of designing and developing advanced software and hardware systems for assessing, training and rehabilitating human performance. With over 38 years of experience, the company serves professionals in sports performance, clinical rehabilitation and tactical environments. Their innovative products combine research and practical application, emphasizing reliability, accuracy and usability.
Innervations’ Key Products
Innervations offers a range of performance tools designed to measure and improve human performance. Some of their flagship products include:
C-Force Performance Platform: This is a highly portable force platform designed to measure a range of performance metrics, such as force, impulse, rate of force development and power. It works in conjunction with other Innervations software for in-depth analysis of athletic performance.
Ballistic Measurement System (BMS): BMS is a powerful software solution for data collection and analysis of strength and power. It integrates with force platforms and linear position transducers to measure key performance parameters such as force, velocity and power. BMS provides extensive metrics and reporting for use in both training and rehabilitation settings.
Innervations offers a range of performance tools designed to measure and improve human performance. Some of their flagship products include:
- InnerBalance: This system focuses on the assessment of balance, stability and functional movement. It is widely used for both athletic performance assessment and rehabilitation, providing insights into the center of pressure and vertical force during dynamic activities.
- Pacer Performance System: This software interfaces with athlete-powered treadmills to capture real-time data, including speed, force and gait characteristics, making it particularly useful for runners and gait analysis.
Integration of TeeChart Charting Libraries
The integration of TeeChart Charting Libraries into Innervations’ software enhances the ability to visualize complex data in an intuitive, dynamic manner. TeeChart’s robust charting tools allow Innervations to present real-time data analytics from force platforms and other measurement systems in clear, customizable graphs and tables. This integration significantly improves the user’s experience, enabling seamless tracking of performance metrics such as force, symmetry, power and balance, essential for both training progress and injury prevention.
“ We have been using Steema Software products, specifically TeeChart, for the past two decades and this has been a foundational part of our software development. It has been fantastic to see TeeChart evolve, improve and add functionality over this time and this has greatly enhanced our products. The customer and technical support from Steema is outstanding and this is backed up with excellent documentation and forums. I can’t recommend the product and company more highly.”

Real-Time Data Insights
One of the key advantages of using TeeChart within Innervations’ systems is the ability to deliver real-time visual feedback. For instance, the Pacer Performance System monitors athlete performance on Woodway treadmills, collecting data at 1,000 samples per second. TeeChart enables the visualization of parameters like running speed, force (both horizontal and vertical) and power output, along with step length, gait cycle and symmetry between left and right sides. The real-time visual display allows coaches and athletes to adjust performance strategies on the spot, based on immediate data analysis.
Similarly, in InnerBalance, which is used to assess balance and functional movement, the TeeChart integration helps visualize center-of-pressure movements and force application during static and dynamic activities. This is crucial for monitoring rehabilitation progress and tailoring treatment programs.
Flexibility and Customization
TeeChart’s libraries offer high flexibility, allowing users to customize the charts according to their needs. For example, BMS provides detailed performance metrics from force platforms and transducers, breaking down data into phases of movement such as eccentric and concentric motions. TeeChart’s customizable features enable users to modify chart displays to focus on specific aspects, such as symmetry or rate of force development, facilitating detailed analysis and personalized feedback.
Moreover, the variety of chart types available through TeeChart -ranging from line charts and bar charts to more complex financial-style charts- enhances the analytical power of Innervations’ tools. These charts allow users to visualize trends, compare variables and drill down into specific performance details, which is particularly valuable in performance diagnostics and training.
Conclusion
Innervations’ software solutions are trusted by professionals worldwide for their accuracy and reliability. With the integration of TeeChart charting libraries, Innervations enhances its offerings by providing clear, actionable visual insights, making it easier for users to track, analyse and improve human performance across a variety of settings. Whether for sports, rehabilitation or tactical training, Innervations’ solutions empower users with the tools they need to succeed.
