This scoping review examined 117 studies on video-based markerless motion capture, most published from 2024 onward and focused on healthy adults walking in laboratories. The studies identified five main pipeline architectures, but most reported only raw joint angles without biomechanical refinement, achieving sagittal lower‑limb agreement of about 5–6°, which falls short of clinical acceptability. Validation of out‑of‑plane kinematics, kinetics, and performance in older or pathological populations was rare, and emerging computer‑vision techniques such as foundation‑model mesh recovery and differentiable inverse kinematics were largely absent from validated work.

The Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) is a widely-used upper limb outcome measure in neurorehabilitation, but its ordinal scoring is subjective and suffers from limited sensitivity and specificity. We evaluated whether artificial-intelligence (AI)-based markerless motion capture (MMC), embedded into ARAT assessments during clinical routine, accurately reconstructs upper limb movement and yields valid, objective kinematic metrics carrying clinically meaningful information beyond the ordinal score.

Quantitative joint angles are rarely available in routine care because the tools are slow, costly, or confined to a laboratory. We show that clinical joint angles can be read directly from the per-segment rotation matrices a parametric body model already produces, with no inverse-kinematics or musculoskeletal-model fitting step.
