This book reviews in detail the history of motion analysis,
including the earliest attempts to capture, freeze, study and
reproduce motion. The state-of-the-art technology in use today,
i.e. optoelectronic systems, is then discussed, as motion capture
now plays an important role in clinical decisions regarding the
diagnosis and treatment of motor pathologies from the perspective
of evidence based medicine. After reviewing previous experiments,
the book discusses two modern research projects, providing detailed
descriptions of the methods used and the challenges that arose in
the context of designing the experiments. In these projects,
advanced signal processing and motion capture techniques were
employed in order to design: (i) a protocol for the validation and
quality assurance of clinical strength measurements; (ii) an
algorithm for interpreting clinical gait analysis data; and (iii) a
number of user-friendly software tools that can be used in clinical
settings to process dat a and to aggregate the results into
reports. In closing, a thorough discussion of the results is
presented from a contextual standpoint.
