Clinical Assessment: Live Tracking, Measured Range of Motion, and the Shoulder Protocol¶
September 2026 · Mobile app 2.1.0 (App Store / Google Play update required)
See the patient tracked as you film¶
The camera now follows the patient while you record. For most tests you see a skeleton over the patient; for shoulder and knee range-of-motion tests you see just the tested limb with a goniometer arc and a live Current / Peak angle. On-screen hints tell you when to step back, turn the patient, or when a joint has slipped out of view, so you know before you stop recording whether the clip will be usable.
Choose the tracking model under the gear icon (Motion tracking): Apple Vision on iPhone by default, MediaPipe on Android, or YOLO11 on iPhone. Try it on camera lets you test a model without creating an assessment.
A clean start every time¶
Before the camera opens, a setup screen shows where to stand, where to film from for this exact movement, and an animated figure performing it from the camera's point of view. When you press Start test, the patient gets into position and holds still for three seconds while a countdown runs. Recording begins at "Go!", so every clip starts from the same neutral position.
Review, retake, then send¶
Each clip replays right after you stop, with its peak, tracking quality and length, and a Retake button. Nothing is uploaded until you press Finish & send, so retakes cost nothing. If a video can't be analysed reliably — nobody in frame, the patient only partly visible, the joints for this test hidden, or too little usable footage — you get a plain explanation and a Retake Video button instead of a failed test.
Five shoulder movements and the full protocol¶
Shoulder range of motion now covers abduction, flexion, extension, external rotation and internal rotation (hand behind the back). All shoulder tests records all five for both sides in one session, ordered so you move the phone as little as possible: front, right side, left side, then behind. Skip any step you don't need.
Measured range of motion in the results¶
Results now open with a Measured range of motion card for each side: the peak in degrees (or a percentage for the hand-behind-back reach), how the peak was found, how much of the clip was tracked, the left/right difference, and honest caveats such as "joint hidden at the end of the range — peak likely under-read". The numbers are measured from the video like a goniometer; the written report interprets them rather than guessing its own. You can also watch the clip back with the skeleton drawn on top and jump straight to the peak.
