AB A human motion capture system using an RGB-D camera could be a good option to understand the trunk limitations inspondyloarthritis. The aim of this study is to validate a human motion capture system using an RGB-D camera to analysetrunk movement limitations in spondyloarthritis patients. Cross-sectional study was performed where spondyloarthritispatients were diagnosed with a rheumatologist. The RGB-D camera analysed the kinematics of each participant during sevenfunctional tasks based on rheumatologic assessment. The OpenNI2 library collected the depth data, the NiTE2 middlewaredetected a virtual skeleton and the MRPT library recorded the trunk positions. The gold standard was registered using aninertial measurement unit. The outcome variables were angular displacement, angular velocity and lineal acceleration of thetrunk. Criterion validity and the reliability were calculated. Seventeen subjects (54.35 (11.75) years) were measured. TheBending task obtained moderate results in validity (r=0.55–0.62) and successful results in reliability (ICC=0.80–0.88) andvalidity and reliability of angular kinematic results in Chair task were moderate and (r=0.60–0.74, ICC=0.61–0.72). Thekinematic results in Timed Up and Go test were less consistent. The RGB-D camera was documented to be a reliable toolto assess the movement limitations in spondyloarthritis depending on the functional tasks: Bending task. Chair task needsfurther research and the TUG analysis was not validated.
