Abstract

Many systems have been developed to facilitate upper limb rehabilitation procedures in human subjects affected by trauma or pathologies and to retrieve information about patient performance. The Microsoft Kinect sensor can be used in this context to track body motion and detect objects. In order to evaluate the usability of this device in the upper limb rehabilitation field, a comparison with a marker-based system is presented in this paper. The upper limb motion is specifically considered and the performance on its detection and tracking is evaluated. The effect of the relative location between the Kinect and the observed subject is also investigated through experimental tests performed in different configurations.
