Abstract
Backgroud: Three-dimensional gait analysis has been frequently used in clinical detection. Research question: Is JiBuEn® a valid tool in measuring gait parameters. Methods: Subjects who had no previous disease/injury walked across a 6-m long walkway at self-selected comfortable speed while JiBuEn®, Zebris® and Vicon® recorded the motion parameters synchronously. Parameters are averaged across one walk for the three systems. Average absolute error and average relative error were presented for error analysis. Intra-class Correlation Coefficient (ICC), Repeatability Coefficients (RC) and Paired T-test were presented for statistical analyses. Results: An excellent level of agreement was shown with Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) between 0.803 and 0.979 and repeatability coefficients (RCs) between 4.8% and 10.4% of mean values. The JiBuEn® showed good validity with small average relative errors ranging from 2.9% to 4.0%, 3.0% to 5.4% when comparing the data obtained with Zebris® and Vicon® respectively. Significance: excellent consistency and agreement between JiBuEn® and the standard systems were obtained.
