Use of Motion Capture in Assisted of Knee Ligament Injury Diagnosis

Abstract

This study treats of the use of motion capture systems as the help diagnose knee injuries. It consists of the theoretical work and the application. The written work describes a course of research includes choice of research group, selection of appropriate exercises, find useful computational methods, description created for research applications and summary results. The practical part was to create an application for physiotherapists which could help them to diagnosis potential pathology of the knee. The purpose of this study was to test whether a motion capture system dedicated to entertainment can be used in the medical aspect. This system was test for selected methods and determined to be suitable for supporting the diagnosis of knee injuries. Otherwise it has to be written what was the reason of failure. The results of the study were that after trial and error methods peeled action and created application proved helpful.
