Zusammenfassung: | Few studies have reported on the validity of a sensor-based lower-limb kinematics evaluation during the timed up and go (TUG) test. This study aimed to determine the validity of a wearable gait sensor system for measuring lower-limb kinematics during the TUG test. Ten young healthy participants were enrolled, and lower-limb kinematics during the TUG test were assessed using a wearable gait sensor system and a standard optical motion analysis system. The angular velocities of the hip, knee, and ankle joints in sit-to-stand and turn-to-sit phases were significantly correlated between the two motion analysis systems (
= 0.612-0.937). The peak angles and ranges of motion of hip, knee, and ankle joints in the walking-out and walking-in phases were also correlated in both systems (
= 0.528-0.924). These results indicate that the wearable gait sensor system is useful for evaluating lower-limb kinematics not only during gait, but also during the TUG test. |
