Accuracy and repeatability of the Microsoft Azure Kinect for clinical measurement of motor function.

ABSTRACT: Quantitative assessment of motor function is increasingly applied in fall risk stratification, diagnosis, and disease monitoring of neuro-geriatric disorders of balance and gait. Its broad application, however, demands for low-cost and easy to use solutions that facilitate high-quality assessment outside laboratory settings. In this study, we validated in 30 healthy adults (12 female, age: 32.5 [22 - 62] years) the performance and accuracy of the latest generation of the Microsoft RGB-D camera, i.e., Azure Kinect (AK), in tracking body motion and providing estimates of clinical measures that characterise static posture, postural transitions, and locomotor function. The accuracy and repeatability of AK recordings was validated with a clinical reference standard multi-camera motion capture s
