DYNAMIC MOVEMENT ASSESSMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A system and method implements video capture technology, in combination with computer program engines and proprietary algorithms to capture, analyze and objectively score human movement, and to identify, differentially diagnose and assess the root causes of observed pathokinematic (pathological movement) patterns. The system calculates demographic risk of injury and compares with identified movement issues to determine potential performance issues and associated relative risks for the subject. Specific, individualized corrective measures or interventions are selected and targeted to the individual and his or her movement patterns, to improve those pathokinematics. The result is decreased likelihood of certain types of lower extremity injuries, faster and more effective rehabilitation, the reduction of movement related pain, and significant improvement on specific performance based metrics used in activities and professions requiring athleticism, and quality measurement of the quality of normal “activities of daily living.”

主权项

1. A system for dynamic movement assessment, the system comprising:
one or more servers defining a hosted server network, one or more of the servers in the hosted server network further comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having program instructions executable by a processor to direct the performance of operations comprising:
processing image data with respect to a predetermined plurality of movement patterns performed by a subject, the movement patterns performed in a predetermined sequence and for a predetermined number of iterations, each pattern associated with one or more variable components;scoring each iteration of each movement pattern with respect to observable deviations from a threshold value associated with each respective variable component, the score based on a magnitude of deviation and a quantity of deviations;probabilistically identifying a causal relationship between one or more movement issues and criteria selected from a list comprising one or more of the deviations and the iteration scores; andgenerating a report comprising one or more intervention actions associated with the causal relationship.
