Abstract

Novel tracking technologies targeting non-technical users enabled the creation of accessible motion tracking for medical functional evaluation and assisted rehabilitation. Here we describe the adaptation of the HTC Vive tracking technology toward this goal. The resulting system was then tested comparing three different anatomical calibration methods, accounting for inter-subject (1 female, 2 male) and inter-operator (2 experienced, 3 inexperienced) variability, as well as six different methods for spatial alignment with the reference measurements system. Accuracy and precision of our methods were quantified by comparison with Vicon optical tracking system. The accuracy of the anatomical landmark tracking was 2.3 ± 0.5 cm with the cleanest protocol tested. Inter-operator variability caused significant changes in measurement errors, while inter-subject variability did not.
