Abstract In gait analysis, knowledge on validity and reliability of instruments influences caused by the examiner’s performance is crucial interest. These measurement properties are not yet known for commonly used, low-cost two-dimensional (2D) video-based systems. The purpose this study was to assess concurrent a 2D system against three-dimensional (3D) reference standard, as well inter-rater reliability, test–retest 3D marker application. Level walking captured simultaneously system....

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the growing relevance of telehealth in health care. Assessing care and nursing students’ competencies is crucial for its successful integration into education practice. Objective We aimed to assess perceived knowledge, skills, attitudes, experiences. In addition, we examine preferences content teaching methods within their curricula. Methods conducted a cross-sectional web-based study May 2022. A project-specific questionnaire, developed...

Background Telehealth has grown, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, improving access for those in remote or underserved areas. However, its implementation faces technological, practical, and interpersonal barriers. Objective The aim of this study was to identify consolidate best practices telehealth delivery, specifically video call sessions, by synthesizing insights health care professionals across various disciplines. Methods We first identified 15 common barriers from a preceding...

Abstract Introduction 3D gait analysis has been proposed as a reproducible and valid method to assess abnormal patterns monitor disease progression in patients with haemophilia (PWH). Aim This study aimed at comparing Gait Deviation Index (GDI) between adult PWH healthy controls, assessing the agreement outcome measures of haemophilic arthropathy. Methods Male aged 18‐49 years (prespecified subgroups: 18‐25 vs 26‐49 years) on prophylactic replacement therapy, male age‐matched controls passed...

Relearning physiological movement patterns is a key factor to success in the treatment of functional deficits. Motivation train sustainably essential for successful motor re-education and can be promoted by instrumentally supported real-time feedback.Study findings should improve understanding feedback visualization exercises targeting lower extremities.A mixed-methods survey on recognition, comprehensibility, color scheme shape six prototype visualizations was conducted among three user...

In addition to its effects on cognitive awareness, smartphone use while walking may reduce the speed, regularity, and symmetry of walking. Although spatiotemporal gait parameters, such as speed step width, have already been studied, little is currently known about impact dual tasking lower limb kinetics.Does during alter patterns (i.e., width) consequently external knee moments?In a four-period crossover trial, moment peaks, width were assessed in 27 healthy adults matched-speed walking,...

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common degenerative diseases musculoskeletal system and can ultimately lead to need for surgery, such as total knee or hip arthroplasty. Functional movement deficits be a prognostic factor osteoarthritis in lower extremities. Thus, training physiological patterns may help treatment functional deficits. Motivation exercise frequently utmost importance promoted by using digital real-time feedback.

Background Osteoarthritis of the hip joint is an increasing functional and health-related problem. The most common surgical treatment replacement to reduce pain improve function. Rehabilitation after total arthroplasty (THA) not regulated in Austria mostly depends on patient’s own initiative possibilities. Functional deficits, such as valgus thrust leg, Trendelenburg gait, or Duchenne limp, are characteristic symptoms before and, due performance learning effect prior surgery, also operation....
