A monitoring or tracking system may include an input port and a controller in communication with the input port. The input port may receive data from a data recorder. The data recorder is optionally part of the monitoring system and in some cases includes at least part of the controller. The controller may be configured to receive data via the input port and determine values for one or more dimensions of subject performing a task based on the data and determine a location of a hand of the subject performing the task based on the data. Further, the controller may be configured to determine one or both of trunk angle and trunk kinematics based on the received data. The controller may output via the output port assessment information.

Movement monitoring system

A monitoring system or tracking system may include an input port and a controller in communication with the input port. The input port may receive video from one or more image capturing devices. The image capturing device is optionally part of the monitoring system and in some cases includes at least part of the controller. The controller may be configured to receive video via the input port and identify a subject within frames of the video relative to a background within the frames. Further, the controller may be configured to identify dimensions, posture, hand location, feet location, twisting position/angle, and/or other parameters of the identified subject in frames of the video and determine when the subject is performing a task. Based on the dimensions and/or other parameters identified or extracted from the video during the predetermined task, the controller may output via the output port assessment information.
