“…Consequently, some of the interventions with physical training programs have shown modest results (Bryan et al, 2012;Chang et al, 2013;Chen et al, 2012;Damiano, 2006;Dodd, Taylor & Graham, 2003;Mattern-Baxter, McNeil & Mansoor, 2013). However, many of these studies consisted of short-term programs which may have not been long enough to produce adaptations.…”

“…The cerebral palsy (CP) is defined as a group of disorders that lead to deleterious effects of the body posture and locomotion as a result of an alteration of the central nervous system (Bax, Flodmark, & Tydeman, 2007;Chang, Han & Tsai, 2013;Diez-Alegre & Cuerda, 2012). This pathology is the most frequent cause of physical disability in children (Balemans et al, 2013;Chen et al, 2012;Reddihough & Collins, 2003), with anPRIEGO QUESADA J.I.…”

Abstract:Regardless the advances in medical science, it seems that the prevalence of cerebral palsy (CP) has been increasing during the last forty years. Cerebral palsy is associated with muscle weakness and impaired circulation that leads to muscle spasticity and deficits in motor control, thereby limiting the individual's ability to perform not only leisure, social or occupational activities but also basic daily tasks. In this sense, exercise is gaining popularity as an intervention choice for this population. Literature aiming to improve the quality of life of patients suffering from cerebral pathologies such as cerebral palsy has observed that both strength and aerobic training lead to significant benefits that improve the quality of life of these patients via a reduction in dependency, muscular deficits and improved cardiorespiratory capacity.

“…The Kinect is a visual-based tracking system that uses a single red green-blue camera and depth sensor to provide a full body, three-dimensional motion capture based on ana tomical landmarks and joint positions without markers or handheld controllers [26]. While the Kinect was origi nally designed for gaming, it is currently being used as a rehabilitation tool for intervention in stroke [26], cerebral palsy [27], cognitive dysfunction [28], and fall preven tion [29]. The Kinect is also being used for the assess ment of postural control [30], gait [31], balance [3], static foot posture [32], body sway [33], and common motor movements [34], all with promising comparisons to three-dimensional gold standard systems.…”

Abstract-Concurrent validity and test-retest reliability of the Microsoft Kinect in quantification of manual wheelchair pro pulsion were examined. Data were collected from five manual wheelchair users on a roller system. Three Kinect sensors were used to assess test-retest reliability with a still pose. Three sys tems were used to assess concurrent validity of the Kinect to measure propulsion kinematics (joint angles, push loop charac teristics): Kinect, Motion Analysis, and Dartfish ProSuite (Dart fish joint angles were limited to shoulder and elbow flexion). Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) revealed good reliabil ity (0.87-0.99) between five of the six joint angles (neck flexion, shoulder flexion, shoulder abduction, elbow flexion, wrist flexion). ICCs suggested good concurrent validity for elbow flexion between the Kinect and Dartfish and between the Kinect and Motion Analysis. Good concurrent validity was revealed for maximum height, hand-axle relationship, and maximum area (0.92-0.95) between the Kinect and Dartfish and maxi mum height and hand-axle relationship (0.89-0.96) between the Kinect and Motion Analysis. Analysis of variance revealed sig nificant differences (p < 0.05) in maximum length between Dartfish (mean 58.76 cm) and the Kinect (40.16 cm). Results pose promising research and clinical implications for propul sion assessment and overuse injury prevention with the applica tion of current findings to future technology.

“…A drawback with motion sensors is that people have to fasten them on limbs, hold them in the hands or even wear them on the body to detect motions and possibly generated force feedback. Wearing sensors can also cause inconvenience and discomfort (Chang et al 2013). Microsoft Kinect is a webcam-style add-on peripheral intended for the Xbox 360 game console.…”

“…Microsoft Kinect is a webcam-style add-on peripheral intended for the Xbox 360 game console. Kinect enables users to control and interact with the game console through a natural user interface using gestures without the need to touch a game controller, (Chang et al 2013). Using Kinect means that the users need not be bothered with body sensors and that the system can save the users from wearing sensors that can be intrusive (Chang et al 2013).…”
