FatoXtract a suit that may be useful in rehabilitation

Kinematic analysis of human movement is very important in several areas, such as in sports (e.g., for athletic performance analysis), health (e.g., rehabilitation of people with motor disabilities) and others. The study of the kinematics of the human body involves several methods that resort to the analysis of several parameters that come from the movement. Important parameters to take into account are the acceleration, velocity and position (linear or angular) of the various articulations of the human body, which can be measured by sensors or through the analysis of repeated images obtained by camera. In this paper will be presented a suit that acquire the different position of human joints that will be useful in rehabilitation, FatoXtract. It is through the analysis of human movement that we can analyze whether the movement in rehabilitation is adequate or not.
