Abstract
Assessment of human movement performance in activities of daily living (ADL) is a key component in clinical and rehabilitation settings. Motion capture technology is an effective method for objective assessment of human movement. Existing databases capture human movement and ADL performance primarily in the Western population, and there are no Asian databases to date. This is despite the fact that Asian anthropometrics influence movement kinematics and kinetics. This paper details the protocol in the first phase of the largest Asian normative human movement database. Data collection has commenced, and this paper reports 10 healthy participants. Twelve tasks were performed and data was collected using Qualisys motion capture system, force plates and instrumented table and chair. In phase two, human movement of individuals with stroke and knee osteoarthritis will be captured. This can have great potential for benchmarking with the normative human movement captured in phase one and predicting recovery and progression of movement for patients. With individualised progression, it will offer the development of personalised therapy protocols in rehabilitation.
Highlights
Background & SummaryThree-dimensional motion capture system using reflective markers provides accurate and precise data to describe joints angular movement quality[1,2,3]
Recent studies have adopted this technique to capture the action during activities of daily living (ADL) and functional tasks in both upper limbs[4,7,8] and lower limbs[9]
The current work aims to establish a normative movement database containing kinetic and kinematic data of 500 healthy adults. It represents our latest effort in building an Asian-centric movement database that focuses on the activities of daily living
Summary
Three-dimensional motion capture system using reflective markers provides accurate and precise data to describe joints angular movement quality[1,2,3]. The ongoing KIT Whole-Body Human Motion Database[20] captures the motions from 224 participants (with 106 males, 37 females and the rest of the participants without gender specified) and 127 different objects (e.g. cup, basket) and environmental elements (e.g. staircase, seesaw) with which the participant is interacting These open access databases have recorded numerous motion capture data of healthy individuals. The current work aims to establish a normative movement database containing kinetic and kinematic data of 500 healthy adults It represents our latest effort in building an Asian-centric movement database that focuses on the activities of daily living. Kinematics and kinetics data of 12 upper and lower body tasks were captured These tasks were either selected from a standardised assessment tool or were representative of daily functional activities such as reaching to grasp an object, turning a key in a lock and walking. Data from 10 participants which captured using the described protocol are available[27]
