Abstract

The K-HERO represents a groundbreaking advancement in motor sciences due to its integration of advanced sensors, artificial intelligence, and analytical software. This innovative tool enables the precise collection of data on the kinetic and kinematic parameters of human movement, providing a detailed analysis of biomechanics. Its primary applications include rehabilitation, sports training, and scientific research. K-HERO allows for accurate assessment of physical performance, injury prevention, and the optimization of training programs, enhancing movement quality and the sustainability of physical activities.
