The Future of Shoulder ROM Assessment
Pain-free shoulder mobility is essential for daily function, everything from eating and dressing to toileting relies on it. That’s why accurate and consistent assessment of shoulder range of motion (ROM) is critical in both clinical and research settings. But are we using the best tools?
This narrative review explores the current landscape of active shoulder ROM assessment, comparing traditional visual methods with cutting-edge technologies like smartphone-based apps and 3D motion capture.
Key insights include:
- Strengths and limitations of 2D/3D smartphone
-based pose estimation
- Comparison to the gold standard, 3D motion capture
- Why consistent protocols and camera positioning are crucial
- The future role of deep learning and LiDAR in shoulder assessment
If you're a clinician or researcher working in orthopaedics, rehab, or biomechanics, this is a must-read.
