Advanced signal conditioning/data analysis 

Section 3

Advanced signal conditioning/data analysis

Best practice knowledge for the principles associated with signal conditioning (hardware or software) associated with collecting biomechanical data and advanced data analysis methods for complex data series.

• Base level – practitioner is familiar with basic theory associated with hardware/software options for signal conditioning or data analysis options based on the data type and analysis required (exploratory or statistical). Basic understanding of the appropriate selection and processes for using signal conditioning and data analysis applications; including appropriate results interpretation and limitations.
• Intermediary level – practitioner is competent in operation and result interpretation of higher-level signal conditioning and data analysis applications to deal with complex noise artifact or analysis of data series using existing applications.
• Advanced level – practitioner has recognised high-level expertise and proficiency in designing signal conditioning toolkits and in utilising advanced data analysis programs (eg. Principle Component Analysis) to highlight critical components of interest in biomechanical testing.
