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 study investigates how well a single consumer earbud IMU can estimate 3D body pose and whether adding foot IMUs improves accuracy. Using a multimodal capture pipeline with RGB‑D video, an AirPods head IMU, and Striv insole IMUs, the authors benchmark pose estimation across various motions and train recurrent models (IMUPoser and MobilePoser). Results show that a head IMU alone achieves 79.0 mm rigid‑MPJPE and 0.809 macro‑F1 for foot contact, while adding foot IMUs does not significantly improve pose and can even degrade performance due to insole orientation errors.
The paper introduces a cross‑modal distillation framework that combines the accuracy of inertial measurement unit (IMU) data with the practicality of video‑based gait analysis to detect freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson’s patients. By extracting invariant latent topologies from a pre‑trained kinematic oracle, the method supervises a visual architecture and fuses skeletal graph nodes with continuous spatial pixels to handle severe spatial occlusion during continuous 360° turns. Experiments on a public multimodal dataset show that this approach reduces tracking entropy and achieves precise FOG predictions without requiring wearable sensors.
