Abstract

Background Gait analysis is the study of human locomotion. In massage therapy, this observation is part of an assessment process that informs treatment planning. Massage therapy students must apply the theory of gait assessment to simulated patients. At Humber College, the gait assessment module traditionally consists of a textbook reading and a three-hour, in-class session in which students perform gait assessment on each other. In 2015, Humber College acquired a three-dimensional motion capture system. Purpose The purpose was to evaluate the use of 3D motion capture in a gait assessment module compared to the traditional gait assessment module. Participants Semester 2 massage therapy students who were enrolled in Massage Theory 2 (n = 38). Research Design Quasi-experimental, wait-list comparison study. Intervention The intervention group participated in an in-class session with a Qualisys motion capture system. Main Outcome Measure(s) The outcomes included knowledge and application of gait assessment theory as measured by quizzes, and students’ satisfaction as measured through a questionnaire. Results There were no statistically significant differences in baseline and post-module knowledge between both groups (pre-module: p = .46; post-module: p = .63). There was also no difference between groups on the final application question (p = .13). The intervention group enjoyed the in-class session because they could visualize the content, whereas the comparison group enjoyed the interactivity of the session. The intervention group recommended adding the assessment of gait on their classmates to their experience. Both groups noted more time was needed for the gait assessment module. Conclusions Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that the gait assessment module combine both the traditional in-class session and the 3D motion capture system.

基于3D动作捕捉技术的步态评估模块评估
背景步态分析是对人类运动的研究。在按摩疗法中,这一观察结果是为治疗计划提供信息的评估过程的一部分。按摩疗法的学生必须将步态评估理论应用于模拟患者。在亨伯学院,步态评估模块传统上包括一本教科书阅读和三个小时的课堂教学,学生们在课堂上相互进行步态评估。2015年,亨伯学院获得了一个三维运动捕捉系统。目的与传统步态评估模块相比,评估步态评估模块中3D运动捕捉的使用情况。参与者第2学期按摩疗法的学生,他们参加了按摩理论2(n=38)。研究设计准实验,等候名单比较研究。干预干预组使用Qualisys运动捕捉系统参加了课堂教学。主要结果测量结果包括通过测验测量的步态评估理论的知识和应用,以及通过问卷测量的学生满意度。结果两组在基线和模块后知识方面没有统计学上的显著差异(模块前:p=.46;模块后:p=.63)。在最后的应用问题上,两组之间也没有差异(p=.13)。干预组喜欢课堂教学,因为他们可以将内容可视化,而对照组则享受会话的互动性。干预小组建议在他们的经验中增加对同学步态的评估。两组都注意到步态评估模块需要更多的时间。结论基于本研究的结果,建议步态评估模块结合传统的课堂会话和三维运动捕捉系统。
