MOTION ANALYSIS SYSTEMSAND METHODS OF USE THEREOF

摘要

The invention generally relates to motion analysis systems and methods of use thereof. In certain aspects, the system includes an image capture device, at least one accelerometer, and a central processing unit (CPU) with storage coupled thereto for storing instructions that when executed by the CPU cause the CPU to receive a first set of motion data from the image capture device related to at least one joint of a subject while the subject is performing a task and receive a second set of motion data from the accelerometer related to the at least one joint of the subject while the subject is performing the task. The CPU also calculates kinematic and/or kinetic information about the at least one joint of a subject from a combination of the first and second sets of motion data, and outputs the kinematic and/or kinetic information for purposes of assessing a movement disorder.

1. A motion analysis system comprising:
an image capture device; at least one external body motion sensor; and a central processing unit (CPU) with storage coupled to the CPU for storing instructions that when executed by the CPU cause the CPU to:
receive a first set of motion data from the image capture device related to at least one joint of a subject while the subject is performing a task;receive a second set of motion data from the external body motion sensor related to the at least one joint of the subject while the subject is performing the task;calculate kinematic and/or kinetic information about the at least one joint of a subject from a combination of the first and second sets of motion data; andoutput the kinematic and/or kinetic information for purposes of assessing a movement disorder.
