This disclosure relates generally to a system and method for shoulder proprioceptive analysis of the person. The present disclosure monitors the shoulder joint motion by quantitative measure of range of motion (ROM) and kinesthesia of shoulder using a smart watch, thereby assessing the limit of active motion and the ability to passively reposition the arm in space. The present disclosure estimates the ROM, velocity, quality of joint movement, direction of hand movement using the sensor data captured by the smart watch. Further, the present disclosure provides a performance metrics of the shoulder function by comparing the shoulder motion before and after a prosthesis procedure. The present disclosure implements a rule engine-based approach classifying the shoulder/arm movement which includes flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction, internal and external rotation.
