Objective: To demonstrate the feasibility and usefulness of applying Kinect sensor-based 3D reachable workspace assessment in four cases of musculoskeletal shoulder dysfunction.
Methods: Reachable workspace assessments were performed using a Kinect sensor on 4 individuals with various shoulder dysfunctions (shoulder impingement syndrome, frozen shoulder, chronic shoulder dislocation, and post-surgical repair of supraspinatus tear). Upper extremity active range of motion was captured by the Kinect sensor and reconstructed to provide an intuitive graphical representation of each individual’s 3D reachable workspace. For tracking each individual’s progress during rehabilitation, both total and quadrant reachable workspace relative surface areas (RSA) were serially monitored over varying follow-up periods spanning 92 to 197 days. ..
