Zusammenfassung:A solution for non-invasive determination of supraphysiological body joint kinematics. The solution obtains external images related to a test procedure of the body joint and performs image analysis on the obtained images to define a pattern of a plurality of spatial points in a region of interest. Each individual spatial point is defined by a unique pattern of neighboring surrounding pixels in each image, and the pattern is part of a high-contrast speckle pattern applied to the body joint. The solution identifies displacements of the spatial points in subsequently obtained images by tracing a location of the unique pattern of neighboring pixels in each image in relation to a base image of the body joint, calculates deformation measures from the displacements of the plurality of spatial points, and obtains deformation measures of a reference body joint. The solution compares the deformation measures and determines supraphysiological body joint kinematics from the comparison.
