Video motion capture lacks clinical validation, review finds

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A scoping review of 117 studies published between January 2015 and February 2026 found that video-based markerless motion capture is not yet a viable replacement for traditional marker-based systems in clinical settings. While sagittal lower-limb agreement is around 5-6 degrees, it falls short of clinical acceptability, and validation for out-of-plane kinematics, kinetics, and pathological populations is scarce. The review highlights a significant gap between emerging computer-vision advancements and their integration into validated biomechanical studies, suggesting future research should focus on these areas to improve clinical relevance.
