The accuracy and reliability of the Microsoft Kinect V2 has yet to be assessed specifically for tracking the coronal and sagittal knee angles of the drop vertical jump. Eleven participants performed three drop vertical jumps that were recorded using both the Kinect V2 and a gold standard motion analysis system (Vicon, Los Angeles, CA, USA). The initial coronal, peak coronal, and peak sagittal angles of the left and right knees were measured by both systems simultaneously. Analysis of the data obtained by the Kinect V2 was performed by our software. The differences in the mean knee angles measured by the Kinect V2 and the Vicon system were non-significant for all parameters except for the peak sagittal angle of the right leg with a difference of 7.74 degrees and a p-value of 0.008. There was excellent agreement between the Kinect V2 and the Vicon system, with intraclass correlation coefficients consistently over 0.75 for all knee angles measured. Visual analysis revealed a moderate frame-to-frame variability for coronal angles measured by the Kinect V2. The Kinect V2 can be used to capture knee coronal and sagittal angles with sufficient accuracy during a drop vertical jump, suggesting that a Kinect-based portable motion analysis system is suitable to screen individuals for the risk of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24061970","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,20]],"date-time":"2024-03-20T05:04:12Z","timestamp":1710911052000},"page":"1970","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Comparing a Portable Motion Analysis System against the Gold Standard for Potential Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury Prevention and Screening"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7217-710X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicolaos","family":"Karatzas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, McGill University, 3605 Rue de la Montagne, Montreal, QC H3G 2M1, Canada"}]},{"given":"Patrik","family":"Abdelnour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, McGill University, 3605 Rue de la Montagne, Montreal, QC H3G 2M1, Canada"}]},{"given":"Jason Philip Aaron Hiro","family":"Corban","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, McGill University Health Centre, 1650 Cedar Ave, Montreal, QC H3G 1A4, Canada"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2950-7740","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kevin Y.","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, McGill University, 3605 Rue de la Montagne, Montreal, QC H3G 2M1, Canada"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7672-8477","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Louis-Nicolas","family":"Veilleux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shriners Hospital for Children\u2014Canada Motion Analysis Centre, 1003 Decarie Blvd, Montreal, QC H4A 3J1, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, McGill University, 1001 D\u00e9carie Blvd, Montreal, QC H4A 3J1, Canada"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2713-6453","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stephane G.","family":"Bergeron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Jewish General Hospital, 3755 Chem. de la C\u00f4te-Sainte-Catherine, Montreal, QC H3T 1E2, Canada"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Fevens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering, Concordia University, 1455 De Maisonneuve Blvd. W., Montreal, QC H3G 1M8, Canada"}]},{"given":"Hassan","family":"Rivaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Concordia University, 1455 De Maisonneuve Blvd. W., Montreal, QC H3G 1M8, Canada"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4678-3699","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Athanasios","family":"Babouras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Surgery, McGill University, 845 Sherbrooke St W, Montreal, QC H3A 0G4, Canada"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-9477-7989","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paul A.","family":"Martineau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, McGill University Health Centre, 1650 Cedar Ave, Montreal, QC H3G 1A4, Canada"},{"name":"Shriners Hospital for Children\u2014Canada Motion Analysis Centre, 1003 Decarie Blvd, Montreal, QC H4A 3J1, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Concordia University, 1455 De Maisonneuve Blvd. W., Montreal, QC H3G 1M8, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Experimental Surgery, McGill University, 845 Sherbrooke St W, Montreal, QC H3A 0G4, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Health, Kinesiology and Applied Physiology, Concordia University, 1455 Blvd. De Maisonneuve Ouest, Montreal, QC H3G 1M8, Canada"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2142","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546517700128","article-title":"Effectiveness of neuromuscular training based on the neuromuscular risk profile","volume":"45","author":"Hewett","year":"2017","journal-title":"Am.
