Research summary
Shoulder arthritis is a condition in which the normally smooth cartilage covering the ball and socket of the shoulder joint is lost due to disease, wear and tear, injury or surgical misadventure. Evidence shows that osteoarthritis causes joint pain and can limit a person's normal range of motion (the ability to freely move and bend a joint). This can be diagnosed by careful history and physical examination along with x-rays. Treatment of shoulder arthritis may include exercises, a ream and run procedure, a total shoulder or a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
In this project, we intend to develop a simple yet effective dual camera based motion detection approach, which enables us to distinguish the movement of a normal shoulder, a shoulder with arthritis and other diseases such as frozen shoulder (also known as adhesive capsulitis) and rotator cuff tear, before/after the operational intervention.REC name
