5 Attaching the Sensors

Before performing a recording, decide which body segments will be included in the recording. The sensors can be attached
with the provided fixation straps. For high velocity and heavy impact movements, we recommend additional fixation of the
sensors with the use of elastic self-adhesive tape.
Note: Best practices for sensor placement and fixation are explained further in the Ultium Motion User Manual (P-8708).
