Brief summary
The aim of this project is to create references values to patients with musculoskeletal pathology using functional tasks and measuring with a smartphone and video imaging (3D motion capture cameras).
Detailed description
Musculoskeletal pathologies can affect bones, muscles, joints and other structures related to this system. These disorders are extremely common and can have an origin from autoimmune, inflammatory, traumatic, etc. The risk of developing this pathologies increases with age. The diagnosis could delayed by lack of information, expensive assessment or difficult execution. Currently, you can use a Smartphone to get the same information as sensors. In addition to Smartphone, 3D motion capture systems with a camera have been frequently used to analyse kinematics and are being integrated as a rehabilitation tool in patients. The use of Smartphones and 3D motion capture cameras would help to find fast and cheap assessment methods for professionals.
Interventions

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Kinematic analysis by motion sensor | 1 hour | A smartphone will pick up positioning, motion and acceleration information from the subject |
| Kinematic analysis by 3D motion capture | 1 hour | The camera will perform a motion capture of the functional task. This system will calculate the displacement and the time of the functional task |
| Responsiveness | 1 hour | The Responsiveness Box of COSMIN checklist will be used to determinate the response to change of the Smartphone and the 3D cameras. All possible items will be followed. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Quality of life questionnaire: EuroQoL 5D | 1 hour | standardized instrument for use as a measure of health outcome |
