Noraxon

Noraxon makes the sensors, force plates, treadmills, and software that researchers and clinicians use to measure how a human body moves. The hardware line covers the major ways to capture movement data: Ultium EMG sensors stick to the skin above a muscle and record its electrical activity wirelessly, showing whether the right muscles are firing at the right time during a movement; Ultium Motion sensors strap to the body and track three-dimensional joint angles and accelerations using inertial measurement; and Core EMG offers a simpler direct-connect version of the same muscle measurement for quicker assessments. Force plates embedded in the floor measure how hard and in what direction a person pushes off during a jump or step, pressure-sensing insoles and platforms map the distribution of force across the foot, and the Gaitway 3D treadmill combines three-axis force measurement with pressure mapping on a single walking belt so a clinician can study a patient's gait without needing a long runway. The Ultium Portable Lab bundles the EMG and motion sensors into a single field kit for on-site work outside the lab. Everything feeds into myoRESEARCH, Noraxon's software platform: it automatically synchronizes data from every connected device and produces reports the clinician or researcher can use immediately. The platform includes over 40 report templates, real-time biofeedback with visual and auditory cues, and signal processing tools, and it receives regular updates that add new analysis modules like the golf swing and jump-landing assessments introduced in the Spring 2026 release.

Noraxon operates as a hybrid hardware-as-a-service business that bundles the hardware with licensed software. A university lab or clinic buys the hardware systems outright and receives a per-seat myoRESEARCH license that activates the software on a limited number of workstations. From there, Noraxon maintains several recurring revenue lines: software updates that add new measurement modules and integrations ship multiple times a year and extend the useful life of installed hardware; electrodes, sensor tape, SmartLeads, straps, and other consumables are sold through an online store and need regular replenishment; and paid services like sensor calibration, battery replacement, and on-site training keep the hardware performing to specification. The company also offers a free six-month academic license for students who need to analyze data collected on a full system, seeding adoption in the next generation of biomechanics researchers and clinicians.
