Abstract
We propose to use the Microsoft Kinect depth sensor for assessing spinal loading, and present an initial study on a public action database with 20 actions. It is built on the recent success on human skeleton extraction with depth sensor, which has been coded into the Kinect software development kit. This letter is an essential step toward a systematic evaluation in future.
