Overview

StrokeView video system

UW Health Sports Rehabilitation uses StrokeView, a four-camera system that allows for simultaneous underwater and over-water video capture from multiple angles. StrokeView has a 22-inch monitor on the pool deck for immediate review and feedback. This comprehensive biomechanical analysis allows for identification of stroke faults that can be causing pain/injury or limiting performance.
