Human movement provides important information about physical health, rehabilitation progress, and functional performance. This experimental study investigates the application of motion imaging techniques for observing and evaluating human movement during rehabilitation activities. Video-based motion tracking is used to examine changes in movement patterns, coordination, balance, and functional performance over time. The study considers the potential of digital motion analysis as a non-invasive approach for supporting rehabilitation assessment. It also explores how quantitative movement data can complement observations traditionally made by healthcare professionals. The research proposes that motion imaging can provide an accessible framework for documenting rehabilitation progress while reducing reliance on subjective visual assessment alone.
