Abstract
This paper presents a low-cost motion analysis system consisting of the Microsoft Kinect sensor and a self-developed software for rehabilitation and sports medicine. During therapy or training sessions a person’s motion is recorded through video and skeletal data. Subsequently, our software allows the analysis and comparison of all recorded motion data. The combination of motion analysis functionality, a user-friendly setup, and easy handling makes our system well-suited for the development or support of exergames.
