Movement analysis for musculoskeletal precision medicine

运动分析是诊断和监测MSK状况的关键指标。目前的临时现场评估和记录方法没有充分利用大数据、精准医疗或高价值护理的增强交付的巨大潜力，所有这些都有可能在一系列MSK条件下对患者体验产生巨大影响。运动分析通常需要固定的实验室空间，昂贵的校准多摄像机运动捕捉系统和由训练有素的专家对每个患者进行数天的处理。由于这是成本高昂，临床医生通常依赖于视觉估计，或使用基本的仪器，如测角仪或秒表来提供评估，为临床决策提供信息，或为临床试验提供结果。该项目将研究和开发一个可访问的，易于使用的系统，只需要一个标准的设备拥有91%的英国人口。它将实现远程验证的临床运动评估，以早期诊断虚弱，从而实现更快，更有针对性的治疗，并最终改善患者的预后。该解决方案将有可能用于其他MSK健康和慢性疾病的有针对性的主动管理，尽管这些不是项目的重点。

Movement analysis is a key indicator in the diagnosis and monitoring of MSK conditions. Current methods of ad-hoc in-person assessment and documentation do not capitalise upon the huge potential for big data, precision medicine, or enhanced delivery of high-value care, all of which have the potential to make a huge difference to the patient experience across a range of MSK conditions.Movement analysis typically requires a fixed lab space, expensive calibrated multi-camera motion capture systems and several days of processing by a trained expert, per patient. Because this is cost-prohibitive, clinicians typically rely upon visual estimates, or use basic instruments such as a goniometer or stopwatch to deliver assessments, inform clinical decisions, or provide outcomes for clinical trials.This project will research and develop an accessible, easy-to-use system requiring only a standard device owned by 91% of the UK population. It will enable remote validated clinical movement assessment for earlier diagnosis of frailty, leading to faster and more targeted treatments and ultimately better patient outcomes. The solution will have the potential for use in targeted proactive management of other MSK health and chronic conditions though these will not be the project focus.
