Because the instrumented gait assessment is laboratory-based, expensive, and time and energy consuming, it is not commonly available in the context of routine clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability of therapist observations in the gait assessment process using the quantitative measurement tool “rysis” which is based on ISO 16840-1 standard. Inter-rater reliabilities of 12 physical therapists were assessed and compared under two conditions: with (ICC=0.970) and without (ICC=0.902) externally placed visible body landmark markers. In addition we explored potential power of the application of “rysis” in clinical gait analysis performed by physical therapists., Original Article}, pages = {17--27}, title = {APPLICATION OF ISO-BASED POSTURE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM "rysis" TO CLINICAL GAIT ASSESSMENT : Reliability of body segment angles in the absence of external markers}, volume = {8}, year = {2013} }
