Abstract: Back pain is a significant condition worldwide that is becoming more common over the years. Although individually adapted exercise therapy would be very successful, the problem is - due to lack of capacity it is rarely prescribed by physicians. We analyse if it is feasible to automatically track and evaluate the performance of an exercise used in a fitness check to support physicians in adapting exercise therapy and thereby providing that kind of treatment to more patients. A depth camera with body tracking is used to detect the pose of the subjects. We have developed a system that evaluates the execution of an exercise in terms of correct performance based on the recognized joint positions. The feasibility study conducted shows, that it is important to avoid as many occlusions of any kind as possible to get the best achievable body tracking. Then, however, the evaluation of the performance of the tested finger-floor-distance exercise seems feasible.
