A team of Swedish researchers has found that motion capture technology can be used to assess everyday movements of stroke patients.

The researchers found that analyzing the 3D animation of the movements provided a completely new level of detail in assessing the mobility of stroke patients, which could be used to provide a more effective rehabilitation to the patients.
“Computer technology provides better and more objective documentation of the problem in terms of the everyday life of the patient than what human observation can provide. Our results show that computerized motion analysis could be a complement to a physician's clinical diagnosis and an important tool in diagnosing motion problems”, lead researcher Margit Alt Murphy said.
