P 121 - Instrumenting the clinical examination: A proof of concept study

During standard clinical 3D gait analysis, retro-reflective markers are placed on anatomical landmarks to allow kinematic modelling of the lower limb. To interpret this data however, information from a clinical examination is also required, in order for primary and secondary causes of gait deviations to be determined. Clinical examinations commonly require two clinicians, one manipulating the limb, the other measuring joint ranges of motion (ROM) using goniometry, with reliability of ≤10° accepted within and between assessors [1].
