Validity and Reliability of Upper Limb Functional Assessment Using the Microsoft Kinect V2 Sensor

Table 3

Validity of the angular waveforms for the selected functional tasks. The mean (SD) coefficient of multiple correlation (CMC) and the root mean squared error (RMSE) between the Kinect V2-based markerless system and the Vicon-based system of the upper limb waveforms are presented.
