Qualitative |
Describe and categorize NC-ACLI scenarios |
Identify environmental risk factors and gross motor patterns |
Provide limited insights into mechanisms of NC-ACLI |
Quasi-quantitative |
Estimate joint angles and bin findings into categories |
Determine general trends in body position during NC-ACLI |
Lack the precision to determine high-risk joint positions |
Quantitative |

2D |
Directly measure joint angles and body positions during NC-ACLI |
Ability to collect larger sample size due to public-domain videos and efficient analyses |
Single plane fails to account for all 6 degrees of freedom; accuracy unassessed in validation studies; requires cardinal planes, which can be difficult to obtain |
3D modeling |
Directly measure joint angles and body positions during NC-ACLI |
Any perpendicular camera views are adequate |
Extensive time required for the analysis, criticized for low accuracy |
Direct linear translation |
Directly measure joint angles and body positions during NC-ACLI |
Closest approximation to controlled laboratory settings |
Difficulty obtaining sufficient numbers for comparative studies |
