Measurement of chest wall motion using a motion capture system with the one-pitch phase analysis method

Abstract Spirometry is a standard method for assessing lung function. However, its use is challenging in some patients, and it has limitations such as risk of infection and inability to assess regional chest wall motion. A three-dimensional motion capture system using the one-pitch phase analysis (M...

Sumario:Abstract Spirometry is a standard method for assessing lung function. However, its use is challenging in some patients, and it has limitations such as risk of infection and inability to assess regional chest wall motion. A three-dimensional motion capture system using the one-pitch phase analysis (MCO) method can facilitate high precision measurement of moving objects in real-time in a non-contacting manner. In this study, the MCO method was applied to examine thoraco-abdominal (TA) wall motion for assessing pulmonary function. We recruited 48 male participants, and all underwent spirometry and chest wall motion measurement with the MCO method. A significant positive correlation was observed between the vital capacity (Spearman’s ρ = 0.68, p < 0.0001), forced vital capacity (Spearman’s ρ = 0.62, p < 0.0001), and tidal volume (Spearman’s ρ = 0.61, p < 0.0001) of spirometry and the counterpart parameters of MCO method. Moreover, the MCO method could detect regional rib cage and abdomen compartment contributions and could assess TA asynchrony, indicating almost complete synchronous movement (phase angle for each compartment: − 5.05° to 3.86°). These findings suggest that this technique could examine chest wall motion, and may be effective in analyzing chest wall volume changes and pulmonary function.
