The angle of rotation of the shoulder is particularly difficult to measure from an upright position because of the complicated base and moving axes. In this study, we attempted to estimate the shoulder joint internal\/external rotation angle using the combination of pose estimation artificial intelligence (AI) and a machine learning model. Videos of the right shoulder of 10 healthy volunteers (10 males, mean age 37.7 years, mean height 168.3 cm, mean weight 72.7 kg, mean BMI 25.6) were recorded and processed into 10,608 images. Parameters were created using the coordinates measured from the posture estimation AI, and these were used to train the machine learning model. The measured values from the smartphone\u2019s angle device were used as the true values to create a machine learning model. When measuring the parameters at each angle, we compared the performance of the machine learning model using both linear regression and Light GBM. When the pose estimation AI was trained using linear regression, a correlation coefficient of 0.971 was achieved, with a mean absolute error (MAE) of 5.778. When trained with Light GBM, the correlation coefficient was 0.999 and the MAE was 0.945. This method enables the estimation of internal and external rotation angles from a direct-facing position. This approach is considered to be valuable for analyzing motor movements during sports and rehabilitation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24092912","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,2]],"date-time":"2024-05-02T07:04:14Z","timestamp":1714633454000},"page":"2912","update-policy":"https:\/\/2.zoppoz.workers.dev:443\/https\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Estimation of Shoulder Joint Rotation Angle Using Tablet Device and Pose Estimation Artificial Intelligence Model"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Shunsaku","family":"Takigami","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Kobe 650-0017, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/2.zoppoz.workers.dev:443\/https\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0806-6579","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Atsuyuki","family":"Inui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Kobe 650-0017, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yutaka","family":"Mifune","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Kobe 650-0017, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hanako","family":"Nishimoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Kobe 650-0017, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/2.zoppoz.workers.dev:443\/https\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2878-1390","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kohei","family":"Yamaura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Kobe 650-0017, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tatsuo","family":"Kato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Kobe 650-0017, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/2.zoppoz.workers.dev:443\/https\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1681-6974","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Takahiro","family":"Furukawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Kobe 650-0017, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/2.zoppoz.workers.dev:443\/https\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6349-5993","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shuya","family":"Tanaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Kobe 650-0017, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masaya","family":"Kusunose","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Kobe 650-0017, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yutaka","family":"Ehara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Kobe 650-0017, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ryosuke","family":"Kuroda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Kobe 650-0017, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"137","DOI":"10.4103\/ijoy.ijoy_97_22","article-title":"Estimation of Yoga Postures Using Machine Learning Techniques","volume":"15","author":"Kishore","year":"2022","journal-title":"Int.
