Comparison Between Evaluation Of The Gravity Center Fluctuation And Analysis Of The Motion Of The Leg In Walking Rehabilitation

It is important to evaluate gait motion on a walk in rehabilitation using the simple method. We have proposed two kinds of evaluation methods. One is the Gravity Center Fluctuation (GCF) obtained by the developed special shoes. The other is five element score method using the high speed camera, and is reliable to evaluate the functional recovery. In this paper, the score that the physical therapist (PT) evaluates the GCF based on the implicit knowledge is obtained. We compare the score of the evaluation of the GCF with the five element score through the classification of the Self-Organizing Map. As a consequence, the similarity between the score of the GCF and the five element score is confirmed. It is clear that a part of the implicit knowledge of the PT is able to be expressed.
