Description Different approaches have been proposed and used for assessing joint angles. The possibility of doing so is of relevance in applied fields, from rehabilitation intervention to assessment of performance in sports. In this thesis we investigate whether innovative methods, based on the application of artificial intelligence to video data, for the estimation of human pose provide accurate estimates of joint angle.
