There is a tremendous need for improved rehabilitation research and clinical services to lower individual health care costs and improve productivity and quality of life. Biomechanical analysis is a key tool for understanding the relationships between impairments, functional limitations, and disabilities by providing quantitative, objective measures of patient status and treatment outcomes. This project is designed to apply probabilistic algorithms developed in the field of machine vision to make a new generation of biomechanical techniques available commercially, which will enable researchers to improve movement analysis dramatically and ultimately patient outcomes.

Public Health Relevance:
Biomechanical analyses based on 3D Motion Capture are a key tool for establishing quantitative, objective measures of functional movement status and treatment outcomes. In Phase I we implemented a probabilistic (Bayesian) approach for estimating the position and orientation of anatomical bodies and found that when tested against Dynamic Stereo X-ray data the approach was more accurate than existing discriminative solutions and demonstrated the potential to achieve sufficiently high spatial accuracy to study joint disease and disorders.
