The Kinect™ (Microsoft™, Redmond, WA) sensor, originally developed for gaming purposes, may have interesting possibilities for other fields such as posture and motion assessment. The ability of the Kinect sensor to perform biomechanical measurements has previously been studied and shows promising results. However, interday repeatability of the device is still not known.This study assessed the intra- and interday repeatability of the Kinect sensor compared with a standard stereophotogrammetric device during posture assessment for measuring segment lengths. Forty subjects took part in the study. Five motionless captures were performed in one session to assess posture. Data were simultaneously recorded with both devices.Similar intraclass correlations coefficient (ICC) values were found for intraday (ICC=0.94 for the Kinect device and 0.98 for the stereophotogrammetric device) and interday (ICC=0.88 and 0.87, respectively) repeatability.Results of this study suggest that a cost-effective, easy-to-use, and portable single markerless camera offers the same repeatability during posture assessment as an expensive, time-consuming, and nontransportable marker-based device.
