No more sticky markers? AI cameras could make gait analysis easier for kids
NCT ID NCT07572214
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a markerless motion capture system (using video cameras and AI) can replace the traditional method of placing sticky markers on children's skin to analyze their walking. Fifty children with walking difficulties walked over a walkway both with and without markers, while both systems recorded them. The goal was to see if the markerless system produces equally accurate movement graphs, which could make gait analysis faster and less stressful for children.
