Abstract Purpose: Vision-based body tracking technologies, originally developed for the consumer gaming market, are being repurposed to form the core of a range of innovative healthcare applications in the clinical assessment and rehabilitation of movement ability. Vision-based body tracking has substantial potential, but there are technical limitations. Method: We use our “stories from the field” to articulate the challenges and offer examples of how these can be overcome. Results: We…
