Prepare Your Tablet


For the most accurate results:

Use a well-lit area

Make sure the client is clearly visible

✓ ‍Keep the area behind the client clear

Avoid:

Other people in the frame

Posters or photos of people

Mirrors or reflective surfaces

Direct sunlight pointed at the camera

Outdoor screenings are supported, just avoid pointing the tablet directly into the sun.

Set Up Your Environment


Clothing

‍ ‍Wear fitted athletic clothing when possible

‍ ‍Tuck in loose shirts

‍ ‍Avoid baggy clothing

Hair

Pull long hair back

Keep hair off the shoulders

Contrast - Make sure the client stands out from the background

Avoid dark clothing on dark floors

Avoid clothing that blends into the surroundings

Prepare Your Client


  • Hold the tablet in portrait orientation with the camera at the top

  • Turn on Rotation Lock to prevent the screen from flipping mid-screening

  • Follow the on-screen guides

Kinotek will display:

  • A silhouette for client positioning

  • A green line showing the correct tablet height

  • Depending on the movement, you may need to hold the tablet at waist or shoulder height.

  • Keep the tablet vertical

  • The tablet should remain perpendicular to the ground. Look for the circle on the right side of screen. When you see the record button, it indicates the tablet is level and positioned correctly.

Position the Tablet


  • Record each movement separately. Do not combine multiple movements into a single recording.

  • Follow the on-screen prompts

  • Use the silhouette and positioning guides to confirm setup before recording.

  • For left and right side movements, reposition the client and capture each side separately.

Conduct the Assessment


Once processing is complete, you'll receive:

‍ Key Findings Summary

‍ Movement Health Report

‍ ROM Summary

‍ Exercise Programming

Review your results


If a screen doesn't look right, check:

  • Tablet is in portrait mode with the camera on top

  • Tablet is at the correct height and level

  • Client is fully visible

  • No people, mirrors, or posters are in frame

  • Lighting is adequate

  • Hair is pulled back

  • Clothing is fitted and visible against the background

  • Camera and motion permissions are enabled

Following these steps will help ensure accurate, consistent movement assessments every time.
