This study evaluates the reliability and validity of the Microsoft Kinect v2 for measuring upper-extremity movement by comparing it with the first-generation Kinect and a video motion capture system.
Both Kinect systems demonstrated good within-day reliability, and their measured movement patterns were highly correlated with video motion capture. The work highlights the potential for inexpensive, portable markerless motion-tracking systems to support movement assessment in clinical and rehabilitation settings.
