Orthopedic researchProtocol review

Orthopedic recovery gait analysis and movement tracking

Track visible function during orthopedic recovery tasks so research teams can compare movement quality across visits and interventions.

Study measures

What the camera can measure

These outputs are designed for study comparison, rater review, and statistical analysis. They are not diagnostic claims.

Knee or hip angle

joint landmarks during squat, step, or gait

Side-to-side symmetry

left/right timing, depth, or joint motion

Step-down control

knee alignment, trunk lean, and descent timing

Gait compensation

stance time, step timing, trunk lean, and path speed

Study setup

Build the task around your protocol

ConductVision works best when the task, camera setup, annotations, and export fields are defined before the first participant visit.

Task presets

  • step-down
  • sit-to-stand
  • squat
  • range of motion
  • short walkway gait

Researcher annotations

  • surgical side
  • procedure group
  • rehab phase
  • pain score pairing
  • brace or assistive device

Export fields

  • joint angles
  • limb symmetry
  • repetition timing
  • gait phase timing
  • compensation flags

Camera setup

Frontal and sagittal views when possible; single-view protocols can focus on selected joints or task phases.

What is established

Gait, step-down, squat, and range-of-motion tasks are used to evaluate musculoskeletal recovery and functional movement.

What ConductVision quantifies

ConductVision extracts joint, timing, and symmetry measures from the selected task views for visit-to-visit comparison.

What still needs validation

Absolute joint angles, clinically meaningful change, and return-to-activity thresholds require site-specific camera and protocol validation.

Data export

Reviewable data for analysis teams

Exports are built for study notebooks, statistical analysis, and rater review. The video remains available for audit when the protocol allows it.

Scientific context for the task family

These links point to the measurement areas researchers commonly use when validating a protocol.

Research-use measurement note

ConductVision outputs are research-use measurements unless a customer has completed their own clinical validation, regulatory review, and intended-use controls. The study team remains responsible for consent, privacy, camera calibration, rater review, and clinical interpretation.
