MAI Motion Takes Centre Stage in the Future of Movement Science

The recent Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) Showcase held at the University of Lincoln’s Think Tank offered a powerful glimpse into the future of musculoskeletal health—and at the centre of it all was MAI Motion™. Developed through a groundbreaking collaboration between MSK Doctors and the University of Lincoln, MAI Motion is leading a new era in AI-driven movement science.

More Than Gait: The Evolution of Motion Analysis

Where traditional gait labs focus on walking, MAI Motion shifts the spotlight to real-world function—specifically the sit-to-stand movement and squats. These everyday tasks, repeated thousands of times in a lifetime, hold the key to understanding balance, control, fatigue, and aging. MAI Motion captures them with nothing more than a standard camera—no markers, no lab setup, just pure data.

MAI Motion Age: A New Standard for Functional Youth

Among the most powerful features is the MAI Motion Age—a single score that reflects how “young” your movement appears compared to biomechanical norms. It’s not about how old you are, but how efficiently you move.

The Bigger Picture: MAI Motion in Action

At the showcase, Dr Yan Wen and Professor Paul Lee highlighted how MAI Motion is reshaping MSK care. From sports performance to elderly mobility, this system isn’t just collecting data—it’s changing lives. By removing the barriers of cost, equipment, and location, MAI Motion brings elite-level motion analysis into any room with a camera.

Future phases of the project aim to integrate MRI biomarker prediction directly from movement data—potentially eliminating the need for physical scans altogether.

MAI Motion is not a gadget. It’s a revolution in motion intelligence.

Whether you’re recovering from injury, training for a marathon, or just trying to stay active as you age—MAI Motion gives you the data, insight, and edge to move better, longer, and smarter.
