Ask a scientist: Markerless Motion Analysis

---

Markerless motion analysis has become an important tool in biomechanics, as it enables the accurate tracking and analysis of movement patterns without the need for physical markers or sensors. By using advanced computer vision algorithms, markerless motion analysis can estimate the positions and orientations of body joints in real time, providing valuable information about biomechanics and movement patterns. This technology is particularly important in identifying movement patterns that may lead to injury or dysfunction, as it allows for detailed analysis of joint angles, muscle activation, and other biomechanical factors. By gaining a better understanding of these movement patterns, researchers and clinicians can develop more effective strategies for injury prevention, rehabilitation, and performance optimization in a wide range of applications, from sports and exercise to healthcare and occupational ergonomics. 

The coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the demand for an alternative to the traditional on-site model for both clinical care and research. Hybrid models of clinical care including telemedicine and/or electronic communications have been widely adopted by sports medicine clinics to safely interact with patients. Despite promising economic returns, the persistence of multiple technology barriers continue to prevent their widespread adoption. The RMCSR's forthcoming movementmobile app may provide a solution to these barriers
