Preprint: Intuitive Evaluation of Kinect2 based Balance Measurement Software

TL;DR

This paper presents an evaluation of a Kinect2-based balance measurement software that analyzes body data to estimate the center of mass and its motion, showing preliminary reliability compared to standard platforms.

Contribution

The study introduces a novel Kinect2-based software for balance measurement and provides an initial validation of its accuracy against a gold standard platform.

Findings

Preliminary validation shows reliable balance measurement results.

Software effectively tracks center of mass and motion routes.

Comparison tests support the software's potential for clinical use.

Abstract

This is the preprint version of our paper on REHAB2015. A balance measurement software based on Kinect2 sensor is evaluated by comparing to golden standard balance measure platform intuitively. The software analysis the tracked body data from the user by Kinect2 sensor and get user's center of mass(CoM) as well as its motion route on a plane. The software is evaluated by several comparison tests, the evaluation results preliminarily prove the reliability of the software.
