Your movement appears here when you turn on the camera.
Or complete every test without it.
Five observations, not a diagnosis or a medical fitness score.
Your results remain in this browser session only. Retest in four weeks under similar conditions if appropriate.
Camera workflow: Review the illustrated movement, put the camera in position, tap Get ready, hold the starting posture for calibration, hear five, four, three, two, one, GO, then move. There is no second Begin button. Camera-assisted counting uses completed movement cycles; if tracking is uncertain, slow down or correct the count manually. Illustrations are reference sketches supplied for this prototype and must be rights-cleared or replaced before public release.
Complete the five challenges in order, or skip any you cannot safely attempt. The chair and heel-raise tasks use camera calibration and experimental full-cycle repetition detection when camera mode is chosen. Single-leg balance reuses the PoseIQ Balance30 calibration and ankle-height start/stop approach. Toe reach and wall posture are guided self-report, even with camera enabled. You can always use the manual controls.
Place your camera so your full body is visible, ideally 2–4 metres away if space allows. Adequate light and a stable camera help. PoseIQ downloads MediaPipe Pose model files from jsDelivr, which receives ordinary requests for those assets. Your camera frames and landmarks are processed on this device and are not recorded or uploaded by this app. No login, analytics or database is included in this package. Camera use requires HTTPS or localhost and permission.
These are simplified at-home variants of researched functional tests, not a validated five-item clinical screening battery. The suggested Instagram thresholds are informal challenges, not diagnostic cutoffs. Camera estimates are prototypes and have not been clinically validated.
1. Five-times sit-to-stand: Established functional assessment. Reliability systematic review: Muñoz-Bermejo et al. (2021). Age and sex references vary: pooled 2025 reference study. Under 12 seconds is not universal.
2. One-leg balance: Established timed unipedal stance procedure, with protocol differences. RehabMeasures test overview. Holding 30 seconds is a challenge, not a universal health threshold.
3. Toe reach: Related to sit-and-reach field tests, moderately associated with hamstring flexibility but weakly with lumbar flexibility. Mayorga-Vega et al. (2014) meta-analysis. Fingertips reaching toes does not establish a healthy lower back.
4. Wall posture: Related to, but not equivalent to, measured occiput-to-wall distance. Validity study of occiput-wall distance (2018). Self-reported head contact is not a diagnosis of spinal posture.
5. Heel rises: The heel-rise test is studied as a measure of plantar-flexor endurance. 2017 reliability/normative study used single-leg rises on an incline, unlike Body 5’s bilateral flat-floor version. Its norms and the informal 20-rep challenge are not interchangeable.
Use a sturdy non-rolling chair and stable wall or counter. Keep balance support within reach. Do not perform tests that are unsafe for you. Stop with pain, dizziness, near-falling or unusual symptoms. Do not force toe reach or head contact. The displayed targets from the inspiration post are informal challenges, not universally validated thresholds, and a missed target is not a diagnosis. Ask a qualified clinician if you have falls, concerning symptoms or difficulty standing safely.
Camera recognition is experimental and can miss or falsely count repetitions because of clothing, perspective, partial visibility and tracking loss. Balance camera touchdown is estimated by ankle height, not physical floor-contact sensing. Heel-raise counting requires a clear SIDE PROFILE of the feet, ideally with the camera near ankle height. This is unvalidated experimental detection; if the count does not track correctly, use manual counting. Do not interpret a zero camera count as zero physical repetitions. No joint angles, sway, disease risk, balance age, or clinical risk categories are reported. You can correct counts manually after camera assistance.
