[The Open Seminar of MARCH Lab] by Seonhong Hwang, 2014.10.27, 10:45 Am, Seminar Room #4, International Cooperation Building No.8, -------------------------------- Title: Feasibility of the Kinect skeleton for upper body motion analysis during wheelchair transfer. - Abstract The purpose of this study was to quantify the repeatability and reliability of the upper limb joint angles from eight subjects simultaneously measured by the Kinect and Vicon during wheelchair transfer. Shoulder, elbow, wrist joint, and trunk angles were calculated. The Kinect showed excellent correlation with the Vicon on the time series angle curve (r > 0.61). The shoulder abduction-adduction angle of leading arm and trunk angles were satisfied with ICC values over 0.81. Except for the maximum and minimum angles of leading arms elbow joint and those of trunk angles, all other variables had larger ICC differences than 0.1 between two systems. Good correlation of the Kinect with the Vicon and good reliability and validity of the Kinect seemed to indicate a potential application of the Kinect system for practical use at home or in clinics as a low-cost virtual coaching system for upper body motion correction during transfer.
