Clinical motion analysis

چکیده
THE ROOTS OF MODERN motion analysis can be traced back to photographer Eadweard Muybridge who used his invention, the zoopraxiscope, to project sequential motions onto a screen so they appeared in motion. At the University of Pennsylvania, he studied animals and human volunteers. To gain insight into uncommon human motion he also recruited patients with physical disabilities from a nearby hospital. The integration of elegant mathematics and engineering, advances in instrumentation and imaging techniques and the evolution in computer technology have propelled the art and science of human motion analysis beyond basic description towards prominent roles in surgical decision making, rehabilitation, prosthetics, orthotics, ergonomics, and athletic performance.
