Research & evidence

Comera Movement Science has spent more than 30 years researching how movement is controlled, and how it can be profiled and changed. The publications and conference proceedings below are associated with our team and underpin the systems we develop — Kinetic Control® and The Performance Matrix®. Newest first, and each entry is labelled so you can tell a peer-reviewed paper from a conference presentation.
