Motion tracking and gait feature estimation for recognising Parkinson's disease using MS Kinect.

Background: Analysis of gait features provides important information during the treatment of neurological disorders, including Parkinson's disease. It is also used to observe the effects of medication and rehabilitation. The methodology presented in this paper enables the detection of selected gait attributes by Microsoft (MS) Kinect image and depth sensors to track movements in three-dimensional space.

Separation of overlapping dental arch objects using digital records of illuminated plaster casts.

Background: Plaster casts of individual patients are important for orthodontic specialists during the treatment process and their analysis is still a standard diagnostical tool. But the growing capabilities of information technology enable their replacement by digital models obtained by complex scanning systems.

Method: This paper presents the possibility of using a digital camera as a simple instrument to obtain the set of digital images for analysis and evaluation of the treatment using appropriate mathematical tools of image processing.

Further developments in the twisted-toe technique for isolated thumb reconstruction: our method of choice.
