Computer vision technology on biomechanical diagnosis
Abstract:
Biomechanical diagnosis systems consists of movement capture equipment based on infrared cameras that record parameters as speed, acceleration, position and angle of the movement of the body to diagnose pathologies and progresses in medical treatments on locomotive human system. The diagnosis system that we are interested in is the study of the joint dynamic segments. Today, studies of statics and dynamics movements use technologies of diagnosis as gait laboratories or posturografhy equipment. These diagnostic systems are valuable in the treatment of pathologies of mobility. His need is recognized by the specialists but the costs of this technology do not allow his use in most of the hospitals, inducing the doctors to realize qualitative diagnoses. The research project consists of the design of low cost biomechanical diagnosis equipment, based on routines of artificial vision, which allows realizing motion capture, measurements and record of the biomechanical movements as a technical support for the diagnosis of pathologies. The equipment allows medical staff, by means of routines of artificial vision, to register the movements of the patient and his later analysis with free software routines. The equipment and the software implement the most used diagnosis routines with the possibility of upgrade in several routines of medical diagnosis for pathologies of movement.
