In home-visit rehabilitation, a quantitative and easy-to-use system to evaluate motor function of the elderly is in demand. After the interview with physical therapists of asking the requirements for the system, we selected three functions from ten candidates for the development of the application. The application measured skeleton data from the users with a compact RGB-D sensor and a skeleton tracking middleware. The results of data processing were displayed on the computer screen. One application showed CoG loci in three 2-D projection charts, second one printed foot positions of a step movement, and third one presented the CoG loci as 3-D figure. Physical therapists evaluated the developed applications as the features of the motion was recognized easier and was helpful for evaluation of the motor function.
