En jämförelse mellan Apples djupkamerateknik och goniometern

Sammanfattning: Today, movement measurements are made manually in healthcare using a goniometer. The measurements are often time-consuming and specially trained practitioners are needed, furthermore the readings are dependent on the practitioner's eye measurements. New technology has been introduced to make the same measurements using external sensors which have the disadvantage that they can be costly and space consuming. Recently, depth camera technology has introduced an alternative solution to make it more efficient for both patients and practitioners. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Apple depth camera technology can replace current technology by being able to perform motion measurements with only one Ipad/Iphone with a built-in depth camera. For this, a prototype has been developed to be able to automatically calculate medically relevant angles by filming a person. Various motion measurements have been performed and the measurement results have been analysed. Apple depth camera has high precision in the measured values. However, a larger study needs to be performed in order to be able to determine whether Apple's depth camera could replace current technology.
