Quantitative Movement Testing: Measuring Patient Movements from a Single Smartphone Video
Researchers have developed Quantitative Movement Testing (QMT), a computer vision pipeline that uses deep learning to extract 3D kinematic biomarkers from standard smartphone videos. This method aims to provide an accessible and objective way to measure patient movement quality, overcoming the limitations of costly laboratory-based motion capture systems. QMT has shown high agreement with gold-standard optical motion capture in laboratory settings and demonstrated good test-retest reliability in clinical trials, offering a promising tool for tracking disease progression and treatment response remotely.
