PhysioMatrix — Open Research Platform

Turning expert judgment into reproducible research data

Two physiotherapists can watch the same squat and reach different conclusions - and there is usually no record of what they actually judged, or how much they agreed. PhysioMatrix gives clinical researchers a structured way to record, score, and measure agreement on movement quality, so a rubric can be validated instead of just trusted.

How it works
1
Capture from four angles

Every exercise is recorded simultaneously from front, side, mid-left, and mid-right cameras, so a reviewer never has to guess what a bad viewing angle hid.

2
Score against a shared rubric

Evaluators rate each defined criterion on the same 1-5 scale, independently of one another - no evaluator sees another's scores before submitting their own.

3
Measure whether experts actually agree

Every exercise reviewed by more than one evaluator gets a real reliability score: mean pairwise agreement and a linear-weighted Cohen's Kappa per criterion, not just a review count.

4
Publish an open, reproducible dataset

The resulting scored, multi-angle dataset and the platform itself are released under Apache 2.0 - built to be checked, reused, and extended, not just looked at.
