Belova, md, dSc, Professor, Head of the department of Functional diagnosisPrivolzhsky Federal Research medical Center, ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, 18 Verkhne-Volzhskaya naberezhnaya, Nizhny Novgorod, 603155, Russian FederationThe development of new rehabilitation approaches to neurological and traumatological patients requires understanding of normal and pathological movement patterns. Biomechanical analysis of video images is the most accurate method of investigation and quantitative assessment of human normal and pathological locomotion. The review of currently available methods and systems of optical human motion analysis used in clinical practice is presented here. Short historical background is provided. Locomotion kinematics analysis using passive marker based systems is reviewed with special attention to the gait analysis. Clinical application of optical motion capture and analysis systems in the diagnosis of locomotion impairment, in Parkinson’s disease with movement control disorders, stroke sequelae, monitoring of motor function rehabilitation in patients with infantile cerebral paralysis, limb joint endo- and exoprosthetics and some other disorders is described.Key words: biomechanics; video analysis; optical human motion; rehabilitation medicine.For contacts: Rukina Nataliya Nikolaevna, e-mail: rukinann@mail.ru
