Development of Measurement System for Quantitative Evaluation of Skillfulness of Lower Extremities

The final goal of our research is to develop a measurement system for quantitative evaluation of the skillfulness of the lower extremities. In our previous work, we developed the measurement system of the foot movement on the floor with the sitting posture. In this study, we developed a quantitative evaluation method of the skillfulness of the lower extremities. We verified the reliability of the proposed quantitative evaluation method by calculating the intra-rater reliability for two trials ICC(1,1) of the evaluation results.
