Abstract

The human body is a complex mechanism which is composed by multiple kinematic chains. The purpose of those multiple chains is to maintain the human body in continuous motion necessary for everyday life. In this paper we will present a state of the art technology defined by its huge potential and accessibility to study the kinematics of the human body.
Our work investigates how the Kinect sensor is capable to take part in the study of the human body kinematics.
