 ====== Testing Setup Checklist ======
-When completing process oriented tasks, checklists are important part of the process. A thorough explanation of the benefits of checklists can be fount in [[http://gawande.com/the-checklist-manifesto|The Checklist Manifesto]]
+Checklists are important part of completing any process-oriented task. A thorough explanation of the benefits of checklists can be fount in [[http://gawande.com/the-checklist-manifesto|The Checklist Manifesto]], this is our attempt to provide an entry-level checklist for capturing marker-based motion capture data. Of course, there are many crucial steps in collecting "routine" motion capture data and a normal collection session looks different in every lab. This checklist should be thought of as a starting point for your Motion Capture laboratory to build upon.
-There are many crucial steps in collecting "routine" motion capture data.
+Have any suggestions? Let us know at support@has-motion.ca.
-The following checklist is a starting point from which Motion Capture Laboratories can build their own.
+**NOTE**: Interested in collecting markerless motion capture data? The [[https://smithengineering.queensu.ca/mme/research/hmrl/mmoa-wiki.html|Multi-centre & Markerless Orthopaedic Assessment Wiki]] has a comprehensive overview of that study's collection and data management processes, including a [[https://queensuca.sharepoint.com/:w:/t/GROUP-HMRL/EXl-bSInaihAgiYEP2FA3mwB9STLb370wzQNzjHrvtQDVg?e=5NoQ08|day-to-day checklist]].
-We encourage users to contribute to this list by sending additional tasks to support@has-motion.ca
+===== Before Participant's Arrival =====
-===== Before Patient's Arrival =====
+  - Turn on ALL systems
+  - Verify position and orientation of all equipment
-====  Turn on ALL systems ====
+    - Verify the position and orientation of Motion Capture Cameras
+    - Verify the position and orientation of Force Platforms
-====  Verify Position and Orientation ====
+    - Verify the position and orientation of Force Structures
+    - Verify the position and orientation of Obstacles or Environment objects
-Verify the position and orientation of Motion Capture Cameras
+  - Perform system calibration
-Verify the position and orientation of Force Platforms
+    - Perform static and/or dynamic calibrations of data collection devices
-Verify the position and orientation of Force Structures
+    - Verify results against the Standards developed/referenced by your laboratory
-Verify the position and orientation of Obstacles or Environment objects
+  - Verify the protocol being used for the session
-====  Perform System Calibration ====
+    - Verify the experimental protocol for the current data collection session
+  - Ensure appropriate system settings are selected
-Perform static and/or dynamic calibrations of data collection devices
+    - As per experimental protocol, set and verify system settings, e.g., synchronise sampling rates, define marker thresholds and ranges, set up triggers etc.
-Verify results against the Standards developed/referenced by your laboratory
+  - Zero force plates and perform CalTester test
-====  Verify the protocol being used for the session ====
+    - Perform Caltester test at a minimum of 2 locations on each force platform
+    - Verify against prior laboratory results
-Verify the experimental protocol for the current data collection session
+  - Prepare necessary markers and supplies
-====  Set appropriate system settings ====
-As per experimental protocol, set and verify system settings
-e.g. sampling rates (synchronise), marker thresholds, ranges, triggers etc.
-====  Zero Force Plates and Perform CalTester test ====
-Perform Caltester test at a minimum of 2 locations on each force platform
-Verify against prior laboratory results
-====  Prepare necessary markers and supplies ====
-===== Patient's Arrival =====
-====  Obtain informed consent ====
-====  Record subject details ====
-Insure that there are no contraindications for the patient completing the data collection
-This may include data collection done via questionnaires or measurements
-If data collection includes patient questionnaires check to make sure that they have been completed correctly
-====  Apply markers as per experimental protocol ====
-Take a set of digital pictures of the subject for post-hoc review of the marker placement.
-====  Record static calibration trial ====
-Ensure all markers are visible
-====  Verify recorded marker set ====
-Verify recorded marker set by launching Visual3D, creating model, and applying model template appropriate for the protocol
-====  Remove anatomical markers ====
-If necessary, remove anatomical markers not needed for tracking in motion trials
-====  Verify tracking using Real time ====
-If you switch to the real time mode in Visual3D, you can verify that the tracking markers assigned to each segment are appropriate, and that the force vectors make intuitive sense
-====  Record dynamic trials ====
-====  Verify force platform assignments ====
-Load data into Visual3D, assign movement trials to model, and verify force platform assignments
-Remove assignments to partial force contacts
-Remove assignments when two segments are in contact with the same platform.
-====  Execute pipeline for creating event labels. ====
-Verify that these event labels make intuitive sense. If not, data collection should be repeated
-===== After Patient Leaves =====
-====  Clean up work station ====
-====  Execute pipeline for processing ====
-====  Load Report Template ====
-====  Verify the report. ====
