Video-Based Automatic Evaluation of the 360 Degree Turn Test

In this paper, an automatic, offline evaluation method of the 360 Degree Turn Test based on a video recording is presented. The provided approach is used to measure the time the patient needs to: (1) rotate 360\(^{\circ }\) in a given direction, (2) pause and (3) repeat the first part of the test in the opposite direction without losing balance.
