Abstract
The quantitative analysis of upper-extremity motion is a challenging task. A single, universally accepted methodology does not exist, but it is possible to define a standardized way to report a measurement protocol and to formulate recommendations on the most important aspect. The aim of this chapter is to provide such guidelines, addressing common issues such as joint modeling, scapula tracking, soft-tissue artifact compensation, and summary of results.
