Motion analysis is a fundamental instrument for the quantification of joint function during daily living activities. Several devices can be used for this purpose. An overview of some of these methods is here presented, focusing mainly on i) stereophotogrammetry (flexible and wide-spread), ii) 3D fluoroscopy (accurate but invasive), iii) inertial sensors (economic though not very accurate). The main advantages and limitations of these methods are outlined, paying particular attention to the errors which can affect the estimated kinematic variables. Finally, some applications are described in the field of error compensation, joint modeling and upper limb motion analysis.

Abstract

Motion analysis is a fundamental instrument for the quantification of joint function during daily living activities. Several devices can be used for this purpose. An overview of some of these methods is here presented, focusing mainly on i) stereophotogrammetry (flexible and wide-spread), ii) 3D fluoroscopy (accurate but invasive), iii) inertial sensors (economic though not very accurate). The main advantages and limitations of these methods are outlined, paying particular attention to the errors which can affect the estimated kinematic variables. Finally, some applications are described in the field of error compensation, joint modeling and upper limb motion analysis.
