A system which extracts motion data from a video image of an infant, and
determines synchronism, symmetry, and/or coordination among the limbs.
The system uses the synchronism, symmetry, and/or coordination results to
determine whether the infant has a disease and/or what disease it may be.
The system uses as an index for coordination one or more of: a movement
start/stop order and acceleration of the markers; the trajectory, speed,
or acceleration of a midpoint of a line connecting markers attached to
various combinations of the arms and legs; and the trajectory, speed, and
acceleration of a gravity center of a plane connecting three markers
attached to various limbs.
