Can BlazePose accurately assess joint angles in outdoor running environments?

Study aim: Accurate measurement of joint angles during running is crucial for performance optimisation and injury prevention. Traditional methods are often expensive or impractical for outdoor settings, making pose estimation techniques a promising alternative. This study aims to validate and evalua...

description Study aim: Accurate measurement of joint angles during running is crucial for performance optimisation and injury prevention. Traditional methods are often expensive or impractical for outdoor settings, making pose estimation techniques a promising alternative. This study aims to validate and evaluate the accuracy of BlazePose for measuring hip, knee, and ankle joint angles at key gait events, initial contact (IC), midstance (MS), and toe-off (TO) in outdoor running.
