About this trial

This observational study aims to develop an AI-based system for tracking mandibular and shoulder movements using deep learning techniques. It will compare AI-generated pose estimations with gold standard measurements to assess accuracy, particularly in patients with functional impairments from oral cancer treatment, such as trismus, spinal accessory nerve dysfunction, neck dystonia, and radiation fibrosis.
