From a cibernetic approach, the body system can be defined like a net of structural and functional related subsystems with motor equifinality inside the concept of balance, energetic economy and comfort: therefore the ideal posture is the one that allows the maximum effectiveness of motor gesture, in absence of pain with the maximum energetic economy. The present study research is based on the necessity to individuate a real objective evaluation system of the postural parameters, inexpensive and of simple use compared to the evaluation instruments in use already scientifically validated. The instrument used in this study is the Microsoft Kinect®, gaming platform combined with the Xbox console. Created by Microsoft in the field of play, the Microsoft Kinect® for years has entertained millions of consumers through the Motion Capture System, the recording of movement through cameras and instant or deferred replay. The primary aim of this randomized controlled single-blind research is the demonstration that, despite being commonly defined objective the evaluation systems that utilize markers, is essential to look for an alternative evaluation method to minimize the systematic human error.The results demonstrate the real validity of Kinect®, and have verified the reliability of the data obtained from the assessment, showing the scientific reliability of this innovative objective evaluation method in rehabilitation-clinical field.

“…Regarding accuracy for motion tracking, the Kinect is adequate for most scientific purposes, including medical studies on posture and rehabilitation (Clark et al, 2012;Clark et al, 2015;Zhao et al, 2014). In particular, Otte et al (2016) have shown that the Kinect V2 can derive clinical motion parameters with comparable performance to that obtained by a gold standard motion capture system.…”

Virtual reality (VR) applications have disseminated throughout several fields, with a special quest for immersion. The avatar is one of the key constituents of immersive applications, and avatar resemblance can provoke diverse emotional responses from the user. Yet a lot a virtual reality systems struggle to implement real life-like avatars. In this work, we propose a novel method for creating interactive, user-resembling avatars using available commercial hardware and software. Avatar visualization is possible with a point-cloud or a contiguous polygon surface, and avatar interactions with the virtual scenario happens through a body joint-approximation for contact. In addition, the implementation could be easily extended to other systems and its modular architecture admits improvement both on visualization and physical interactions. The code is under Apache License 2.0 and is freely available as Supplemental Information 1 in this article.

Abstract-State of the art technology is widely used in health care and exercise sciences. The use of such technology is based on availability and mainly by cost. Current devices are light, small and portable to allow health care practitioners provide accurate diagnostic tools for effective patient treatment. Software and apps such as video games for health are embedded in cell phones and tables, making them available to everyone. Knowledge and use of these devices is not limited to the highly skilled technicians, but rather to patients and common people of all ages. Miniaturization and nanotechnology allow exploring the human body and to collect data in real time. Microrobots seem to integrate technology, miniaturization and nanotechnology; therefore, these particles will extender their applications to health care and other fields like sports. These technologies are used in combating not only diseases such as cancer, but also in sports and exercise science research to provide athletes and staff with the latest instrumentation to achieve the best performance. New materials and devices will also help athletes recovering from injuries and return to play sooner. Next technological developments will include positive key features such as portability, miniaturization, automatization, and power sustainability. They are also challenged to overcome negative features like ethics, high cost, and access to the population.
