Accuracy of measuring scapular position and motion with a novel motion capture system.
JSES Rev Rep Tech 2023 August
BACKGROUND: Scapula kinematics is recognized to be a crucial variable in shoulder dysfunction. Nevertheless, quantitative scapula tracking and measurement are not part of the current clinical evaluation. The main concern is measurement accuracy.
METHODS: To assess the accuracy of the wearable sensor technology Showmotion a cadaver experiment was designed, allowing a direct comparison between sensors directly pinned to the scapula and superficial sensors. A measurement protocol was adopted to evaluate errors in measurement, mimicking the suggested in vivo evaluation. Sensors were simultaneously placed above (supraspinal) and below (infraspinal) the scapular spine to determine if one placement resulted in fewer errors compared to the other.
RESULTS: Mean and standard deviations of the supraspinal sensor root mean square error (RMSE) in flexion-extension movements resulted in 3.59° ± 2.36°, 4.73° ± 2.98°, and 6.26° ± 3.62° for upward-downward rotation (up-down), anterior-posterior tilt and internal-external (intra-extra) rotation, respectively, while 2.16° ± 1.21°, 2.20° ± 1.02°, and 4.46° ± 2.16° for the infraspinal sensor. In abduction-adduction movements, mean and standard deviations of the supraspinal sensor RMSE resulted in 4.26° ± 2.98°, 5.68° ± 4.22°, and 7.04° ± 4.36° for up-down rotation, anterior-posterior tilt, and intra-extra rotation, respectively, while 2.38° ± 1.63°, 2.47° ± 1.77°, and 4.92° ± 3.14° for the infraspinal sensor. The same behavior was confirmed in shrug movements, where 4.35° ± 3.24°, 4.63° ± 3.09°, and 5.34° ± 6.67° are mean and standard deviations of the supraspinal sensor RMSE for up-down rotation, anterior-posterior tilt, and intra-extra rotation, respectively, while 2.76° ± 1.87°, 2.83° ± 2.53°, and 4.68° ± 5.22° for the infraspinal sensor.
CONCLUSION: This method of quantitative assessment of scapular motion is shown to have good accuracy and low error between the sensor measurements and actual bone movement in multiple planes of scapular motion, both over the entire range of motion and in its individual segment intervals. The decreased amount of error with the infraspinal sensor placement suggests that placement is ideal for clinical quantitative assessment of scapular motion.
