In this video, we introduced Camera Lab, an innovative tool that announces rehabilitation through precise movement analysis. By accurately identifying biomechanical alterations, Camera Lab guides personalized treatment plans, promoting faster and more effective patient recovery. Its inexpensive and the user-friendly design make it a quick, reliable, and accessible solution for reproducible movement assessments.
This led to significant improvements in patient outcomes and the deeper understanding of low back pain. Our study might pave the way for further research into digital integration within rehabilitation, announcing long-term outcomes through precise personalized rehabilitation approaches tailored to different patient profiles and movement dysfunctions. To begin, turn on the touch screen of the interactive monitor, which serves as the central control hub of the video analysis system, and push the power button.
Position four high velocity cameras around the video analysis system. Insert the network cables into their corresponding ports to connect the cameras to the interactive monitor. To view images in real time, start the camera interface.
Then, click on the video analysis system icon. Provide the patient with the informed consent form for review and signature. Collect and note down the patient's demographic and anthropometric data.
Now, position the patient in the center of the video analysis system, ensuring that the four high velocity cameras are placed three meters from the patient. Instruct the patient to perform low intensity cycling while maintaining a seat height that allows for easy achievement of zero degree knee extension. To perform a lower limb stretching exercise, instruct the patient to lie in a supine position and hug one thigh at a time to the chest with hands clasped behind it.
For core activation, instruct the patient to activate the core by starting in a supine position with hips flexed and feet flat on the ground. Ask the patient to perform 15 hip extensions, reaching the bridge position for three sets with a 15 second rest between sets. Next, administer the functional movement screen test to the patient, including deep squats, hurdle steps, inline lunges, shoulder mobility, active straight leg raises, trunk stability pushups, and rotatory stability in accordance with FMS guidelines.
Ask the patient to stand with feet shoulder width apart and aligned on the sagittal plane. Instruct the patient to extend the arms forward with a bar resting on them. Then, ask the patient to squat as far as possible while keeping the torso upright and heels in place.
Hold the position down for a count of one before returning to the starting position. For the lower body motor control screen, ask the patient to stand on one foot with an extended contralateral leg, keeping the foot off the ground. Then, ask the patient to descend into a squat while keeping the torso upright and the foot firmly in place.
Hold the position for a count of one before returning to the starting position. Then, press the start button to begin recording. The system will begin data acquisition until the end of the exercise.
Afterward, press stop to end the data acquisition. The system will save the video file in a specific folder. To create the patient's folder on the interactive monitor to store the recorded videos, right click on the desktop to open the desktop menu.
Choose new folder, type the patient's name, and press return. Then, open the selected videos for analysis. To analyze the video frames for the front squat, no hand trial, select the frame from the video showing the lateral view at the point of maximum descent.
Start the video annotation tool for image analysis by double clicking the own icon. Insert the selected frame into the report for analysis. Select the joints in the lateral frame, touching the interactive monitor and drawing the skeleton of the limb and trunk axis.
Next, add the lower limb control score and the motor strategy score to calculate the total row score for the front squat, no hand trial. For the lower body motor control screen, for both the right and left sides, select the frame from the video generated in both lateral and frontal views at the point of maximum descent. Start the video annotation tool for image analysis by double clicking the own icon.
Then, select the joints in the frontal frame by the interactive monitor and drawing the skeleton of the limb and trunk axis. Select the joints in the lateral frame by touching the interactive monitor and drawing the skeleton of the limb and trunk axis. Insert the selected frames into the report for analysis.
Calculate the total row score by adding the scores for lower limb control, pelvic tilt, trunk control, and motor strategy.
