Accuracy and Reliability of the Kinect Version 2 for Clinical Measurement of Motor Function.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The introduction of low cost optical 3D motion tracking sensors provides new options for effective quantification of motor dysfunction.

Objective

The present study aimed to evaluate the Kinect V2 sensor against a gold standard motion capture system with respect to accuracy of tracked landmark movements and accuracy and repeatability of derived clinical parameters.

Methods

Nineteen healthy subjects were concurrently recorded with a Kinect V2 sensor and an optical motion tracking system (Vicon). Six different movement tasks were recorded with 3D full-body kinematics from both systems. Tasks included walking in different conditions, balance and adaptive postural control. After temporal and spatial alignment, agreement of movements signals was described by Pear
