Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters

Background: There is a current lack of affordable 3-D motion analysis systems available to physical therapists for documenting objective data.

Objective: Compare data from inexpensive 3-D motion capture system using the Kinect, to the Codamotion, a traditional active marker, motion analysis system. Determine data reliability.

Design: Reliability-method comparison study

Methods: Seventeen subjects (9 females, 8 males) were instructed to walk down marked runway, arms across chest while both systems recorded data. Data was collected with Kinect on the same and opposite side as the Coda. Kinect and Coda data were interpolated and normalized for comparison. A program for heel strike …
