Validity and reliability of Kinect skeleton for measuring shoulder joint angles: a feasibility study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To test the reliability and validity of shoulder joint angle measurements from the Microsoft Kinect™ for virtual rehabilitation.

Design

Test-retest reliability and concurrent validity, feasibility study.

Setting

Motion analysis laboratory.

Participants

A convenience sample of 10 healthy adults.

Methods

Shoulder joint angle was assessed in four static poses, two trials for each pose, using: (1) the Kinect; (2) a three-dimensional motion analysis system; and (3) a clinical goniometer. All poses were captured with the Kinect from the frontal view. The two poses of shoulder flexion were also captured with the Kinect from the sagittal view.

Main outcome measures

Absolute and relative test-retest reliability of the Kinect for the measurement o
