  • Objective quantification of movement disorders aids in optimizing patient-specific therapeutic strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review various movement analysis techniques and their applications.
  • To provide an overview of measurement technologies, application fields, and parameter interpretation.
  • To highlight the advantages and disadvantages of different movement analysis methods.

Main Methods:

  • Review of markerless motion capture.
  • Review of marker-based motion analysis.
  • Review of pedobarography and wearable sensors.

Main Results:

  • Diverse measurement systems exist for both daily monitoring and clinical/scientific use.
  • Each analysis method (markerless, marker-based, pedobarography, wearables) has unique applications, benefits, and drawbacks.
  • Understanding technology, applications, and parameters is crucial for effective gait analysis.

Conclusions:

  • Movement analysis is a versatile tool with expanding applications across medical fields.
  • Various technologies offer different approaches to understanding and quantifying gait disorders.
