Researchers have developed a new method to directly extract clinical joint angles from parametric body models, bypassing the need for complex inverse-kinematics or musculoskeletal-model fitting. This approach utilizes per-segment rotation matrices already produced by body models, achieving accuracy comparable to existing methods like OpenCap Monocular but with a significantly simpler pipeline. The technique has been demonstrated to work with different body models, such as GEM-X and SAM 3D Body, and can operate in real-time from a single camera stream without requiring additional participant data. This advancement promises to make movement analysis more accessible for various applications, including telerehabilitation and large-scale decentralized studies. AI
