Deep-learning-based markerless tracking of distal anatomical landmarks in clinically recorded videos for assessing infant movement patterns associated with neurodevelopmental status.

ABSTRACT: Abnormal patterns in infants' General Movements (GMs) are robust clinical indicators for the progression of neurodevelopmental disorders, including cerebral palsy. Availability of automated platforms for General Movements Assessments (GMA) could improve screening rate and allow identifying at-risk infants. While we have previously shown that deep-learning schemes can accurately track the longitudinal axes of infant limb movements (12 anatomical locations, 3 per limb), information about the distal limb segments' rotational movements is important for making an accurate clinical assessment, but has not previously been captured. Here we show that training schemes that are highly successful at tracking trunk and proximal limb landmarks perform less well for the distal limb landmarks, and this p
