Zusammenfassung:The invention deals with the process and devices for the automated measure of the range of motion by means of a specialized videoconference systems connected to a network. The process consists of steps of: viewing in real-time on a display device an image of the parts of the body of a remotely located subject over a network with which the range of motion may be evaluated by the assignment, by an operator/evaluator of three points representing the anatomic landmarks making up the angle of a joint by means of a pointing device in the order distal anatomic landmark-joint-distal anatomic landmark, the automated subject image capture and calculation and display of the range of motion angle, the registration and recording to a database of the results of the evaluation. The invention is intended for the goniometric assessment of the range of motion in kinetics studies.
