Cellular photogrammetry in anthropometric measurements and its application to human movement

Abstract

The main scope of this work was to look in depth the possibility of using a smartphone [1] for antropometric measurements and its future application in gait analysis. The main specification of this research was to use quite affordable systems that any patient may have at home: his/her smartphone phone and a standard reference [2]. The first study has been developed with the typical Spanish doll called Nancy. Here we present the amazing results that open the door to a new telegait easy measurements and the proposals for its practical implementation. This will never substitute the precise systems available at many institutions, but it will provide a fast tool for quick evaluation of the evolution of a treatment.
