Video-Based Motion Capture Smartphone Apps for Testing Human Motor Performance Skills: Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Good motor performance skills (MPS) are relevant in all stages of life. Higher MPS are associated with enhanced cognitive abilities and physical and mental health. The assessment of MPS is important to identify deficits in MPS at an early stage and to implement interventions to address these deficits. One method to assess MPS is through marker-based motion capture in a laboratory setting with multiple cameras. However, this approach is expensive and time-consuming, making it impractical, for example, in large-scale studies for MPS assessment. Recent advancements (eg, artificial intelligence) in technology (eg, smartphone cameras) have opened up innovative solutions for various challenges (eg, testing large sample sizes). A potential solution is using video-based smartpho
