Official title
Reliability of Kinovea Software for Measurement of Transtibial Amputee Knee Angle During Walking
Overview
The primary aim of this study was to find the reliability of Kinovea software in measuring parameters associated with sagittal plane knee kinematics during gait in transtibial amputees. The secondary objective was to calculate the absolute reliability by calculating the Standard Error of Measurement (SEM), SEM% and Minimal Detectable Change at 95% confidence interval (MDC95). The SEM value represents the extent to which a score changes during the repetition of the measurement. The MDC is the minimum change in the measurement that is considered a true change in the measured activity that is not due to error.
Primary outcome measures
- Vİdeo Recording [Time frame: From enrollment to the end of video record (10 minutes).]
