Mid-Atlantic section as well as ASME and IEEE. American c Society for Engineering Education, 2022Abstract:This paper presents an analysis of the Leap Motion as an occupational therapy tool. The LeapMotion’s speed, ease of use, accuracy and price make it a competitive alternative to thegoniometer, a commonly used tool for angle measurement. The Leap Motion, a hand gesturetracking system was analyzed with respect to its angle measuring capabilities. Existing software,BREKEL Pro Hands® was used in conjunction with the Leap Motion® to generate an Excel®worksheet of hand data. These data were analyzed utilizing MATLAB® to calculate joint angles.The joint angle measurements were
