Abstract: Accurate movement analysis systems are prohibitive in cost and size to be accessible to the general population, while commercially available, affordable systems lack the accuracy needed for clinical relevance. To address these limitations, we developed a Depth Camera Movement Assessment System (DCMAS) featuring an affordable, widely available depth camera (e.g. Microsoft Kinect). After examining 3D position data for markers adhered to participants and a flat surface, captured with both DCMAS and the industry standard Vicon system, we demonstrated DCMAS obtained measurements comparable, within soft tissue artifact, to the Vicon system, paving the way for a breakthrough technology in preventative medicine.
