Smartphone Apps Assess Motor Performance Skills

A scoping review led by researchers at Karlsruhe institutes and published in JMIR mHealth and uHealth (2026) searched literature in March 2024 and identified 10 studies using seven smartphone apps to assess motor performance skills (MPS). Six apps had validation data, covering gait, breaststroke, running, countermovement jump, shoulder mobility, and a functional movement battery across diverse adult populations, indicating scalable, low-cost biomechanical assessment while urging further app development and validation.
