Clinicians typically observe and describe abnormal head postures (AHPs) and may also measure them. Depth cameras have been suggested as a reliable measurement device for measuring head position using face-tracking technology. This study compared a depth camera (Microsoft Kinect) to a gold standard electromagnetic tracking system (Polhemus device) to measure head position.
