Performing Human Movement Assessments Using Video Game Technology

Summary

Researchers at Purdue University have developed a software application that will serve as a tool for clinicians to measure and monitor body movements using an affordable, portable device, the Microsoft Kinect*. The application's design allows physical and occupational therapists to supplement movement assessments with more comprehensive metrics than currently available. In addition, features, such as longitudinal tracking of patient progress, will provide clinicians the opportunity to view how their patients are progressing under their current regimen. The proposed technology will provide an affordable interface for clinicians to carry out rigorous examinations of a patient's movement without adding significant time to their visit or diverting time away from their rehabilitation regimen.*Trademark
