This kind of patients find executing Activities of Daily Living (ADL) too difficult due to the loss of memory and capacity to carry out sequential tasks or the impossibility of associating different objects with their functions. This contribution is developed from the work of Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid and Technical University of Munich in collaboration with The University of Birmingham. The KinectTM for Windows\u00a9 device is used for this purpose. The data collected is compared to an ultrasonic motion capture system. The results indicate a moderate to strong correlation between signals. They also verify that KinectTM is very suitable and inexpensive. Moreover, it turns out to be a motion-capture system quite easy to implement for kinematics analysis in ADL.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s121014214","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,22]],"date-time":"2012-10-22T11:27:55Z","timestamp":1350905275000},"page":"14214-14231","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Handmade Task Tracking Applied to Cognitive Rehabilitation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Jos\u00e9 M.","family":"Cogollor","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Automation and Robotics CAR (UPM-CSIC), Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, Jos\u00e9 Guti\u00e9rrez Abascal 2, 28006 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charmayne","family":"Hughes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Movement Science, Department of Sport and Health Science, Technical University of Munich, 80992 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manuel","family":"Ferre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Automation and Robotics CAR (UPM-CSIC), Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, Jos\u00e9 Guti\u00e9rrez Abascal 2, 28006 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Javier","family":"Rojo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Automation and Robotics CAR (UPM-CSIC), Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, Jos\u00e9 Guti\u00e9rrez Abascal 2, 28006 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joachim","family":"Hermsd\u00f6rfer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Movement Science, Department of Sport and Health Science, Technical University of Munich, 80992 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alan","family":"Wing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology, The University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham B15 2TT, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sandra","family":"Campo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Automation and Robotics CAR (UPM-CSIC), Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, Jos\u00e9 Guti\u00e9rrez Abascal 2, 28006 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Whittle, M.W.
