Correlation between pose estimation features regarding movements towards the midline in early infancy.

ABSTRACT: In infants, spontaneous movement towards the midline (MTM) indicates the initiation of anti-gravity ability development. Markerless 2D pose estimation is a cost-effective, time-efficient, and quantifiable alternative to movement assessment. We aimed to establish correlations between pose estimation features and MTM in early-age infants. Ninety-four infant videos were analysed to calculate the percentage and rate of MTM occurrence. 2D Pose estimation processed the videos and determined the distances and areas using wrist and ankle landmark coordinates. We collected data using video recordings from 20 infants aged 8-16 weeks post-term age. Correlations between MTM observations and distance values were evaluated. Differences in areas between groups of videos showing MTM and no MTM in the tota
