Three-dimensional (3D) motion capture is inaccessible, and the Microsoft Kinect is an alternative to measure surrogates of knee valgus that may contribute to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk. We evaluated the influence of sex and body size on the agreement between methods. A total of 40 (10 per sex and BMI group) participants were included. The Kinect and motion capture measured knee ankle separation ratio (KASR) and knee abduction angles (KAAs). Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) evaluated agreement between methods. 2 (sex) by 2 (BMI) by 2 (method) ANOVA compared kinematics between groups. Agreement between methods was moderate-to-good for KASR (initial contact ICCs 0.667-0.86; peak flexion ICCs 0.766-0.882). Agreement for KAA was low-to-moderate (initial contact ICCs 0.128-0.575; peak flexion ICCs 0.315-0.760). There was a BMI-by-method interaction for KASR at initial contact ( < 0.01) and a main effect of method ( < 0.01). There were BMI-by-method interactions for KAA (initial contact > 0.01; peak knee flexion < 0.01). The high BMI group had greater KAAs than the low BMI group, but only using motion capture. The Kinect is an alternative for measuring KASR, but not KAA. The high BMI group had greater KAAs than the low BMI group, but only when measured with motion capture.
三维(3D)运动捕捉无法实现,而微软Kinect是一种可用于测量可能导致前交叉韧带(ACL)损伤风险的膝外翻替代指标的方法。我们评估了性别和体型对两种测量方法一致性的影响。共纳入40名参与者(每个性别和体重指数组各10名)。通过Kinect和运动捕捉测量膝踝分离率(KASR)和膝外展角度(KAA)。组内相关系数(ICC)用于评估两种测量方法之间的一致性。采用2(性别)×2(体重指数)×2(测量方法)方差分析比较各组间的运动学差异。两种测量方法在KASR方面的一致性为中等至良好(初始接触时ICC为0.667 - 0.86;屈曲峰值时ICC为0.766 - 0.882)。KAA的一致性为低至中等(初始接触时ICC为0.128 - 0.575;屈曲峰值时ICC为0.315 - 0.760)。在初始接触时,KASR存在体重指数与测量方法的交互作用(<0.01)以及测量方法的主效应(<0.01)。KAA也存在体重指数与测量方法的交互作用(初始接触时>0.01;屈膝峰值时<0.01)。高体重指数组的KAA大于低体重指数组,但仅在使用运动捕捉测量时如此。Kinect可作为测量KASR的替代方法,但不适用于测量KAA。高体重指数组的KAA大于低体重指数组,但仅在用运动捕捉测量时是这样。
