Dual Kinect v2 system can capture lower limb kinematics reasonably well in a clinical setting: concurrent validity of a dual camera markerless motion capture system in professional football players.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To determine whether a dual-camera markerless motion capture system can be used for lower limb kinematic evaluation in athletes in a preseason screening setting.

Design

Descriptive laboratory study.

Setting

Laboratory setting.

Participants

Thirty-four (n=34) healthy athletes.

Main outcome measures

Three dimensional lower limb kinematics during three functional tests: Single Leg Squat (SLS), Single Leg Jump, Modified Counter-movement Jump. The tests were simultaneously recorded using both a marker-based motion capture system and two Kinect v2 cameras using iPi Mocap Studio software.

Results

Excellent agreement between systems for the flexion/extension range of motion of the shin during all tests and for the thigh abduction/adduction duri
