Markerless biomechanics system enables gait assessment for spinal cord injury patients

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a monocular markerless biomechanics system for assessing gait in individuals with spinal cord injury. This system uses a single sagittal-view video to drive an OpenSim model, achieving state-of-the-art agreement with traditional motion capture for lower-body kinematics. The approach also accurately predicts ground-reaction forces measured by force plates and reveals distinct mechanical strategies among patients walking at similar speeds, suggesting its potential for scalable, clinically meaningful biomechanical assessment and data-driven phenotyping.

    Monocular markerless biomechanics for clinically interpretable gait assessment in spinal cord injury

    arXiv:2610.05552v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Three-dimensional gait analysis guides rehabilitation after spinal cord injury but depends on marker-based motion capture and force plates, which few clinics have. Monocular markerless pipelines have been established in fewer he…
