Moving Toward Clinic-Based Motion Analysis: Kinect® Camera as an Example
Journal Title: Sports and Exercise Medicine – Open Journal - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Lower extremity injury and the associated rehabilitation that follows represent an enormous source of annual health care costs as well as time lost from activity in the physically active population.1,2 Currently, assessment tools such as the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) have been described in the literature and adopted by clinicians as valuable tools used to assess knee injury risk.3 Unfortunately, while these tools have been shown to be valid, they rely on subjective criteria to assess patient performance, which may be affected by clinician experience. Cost effective, quantifiable assessment of lower extremity movement in the clinical setting represents a tremendous improvement in the standard of injury risk evaluation as well as the ability to track patient outcomes.
