Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the Kinect's effectiveness in capturing the movement and posture of individuals with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) while they performed tasks from the Motor Function Measure rating scale.
- A multicenter feasibility study involved scoring participants' performances both by in-person therapists (Score-T) and through digital data visualization with Kinect (Score-D), to compare their agreements and disagreements.
- Results showed only 31.7% agreement for SMA type 2 participants and 76.2% for type 3, suggesting that while Kinect can't reliably automate scoring, it may help identify compensatory movements in patients.
Personalized upper limb orthosis necessitates variety of tools during the development process: hemiplegic child case study.

Purpose: A design methodology for the creation of an upper-limb dynamic orthosis for children was developed in this article. For a non-negligible numerous of cases, orthoses are abandoned for many reasons: they are expensive, heavy, complicated to use, uncomfortable, non-customized, and so on. Three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies are a way to answer a lot of these issues.
