Background: There are many techniques of monitoring leg lymphedema during physical therapy. Taking volumetric measurements with a tape measure is among the most common clinically, and changes in volume are typically used to measure therapy efficacy. This study shows how the Kinect infrared (IR) sensor with custom algorithms can assess leg circumferences and volumes comparable with tape measurements taken by a trained therapist while exploring regional leg changes to determine uniformity of change.

使用红外线系统在治疗过程中监测腿部淋巴水肿。

背景：在物理治疗期间有许多监测腿部淋巴水肿的技术。使用卷尺进行体积测量是临床上最常见的方法之一，体积的变化通常用于测量治疗效果。这项研究展示了具有自定义算法的 Kinect 红外 (IR) 传感器如何评估腿部周长和体积，与受过训练的治疗师进行的卷尺测量相当，同时探索区域腿部变化以确定变化的均匀性。
