n this validation study, the measurements of the 10 functional tests of the Orthelligent system were compared with the Golden Standard of motion analysis, a 3D video motion capture system (SIMI® system) with 8 synchronized cameras.
The measurement results for time-based results were almost completely identical in both systems. Angle-based measurements showed differences of 1-3 degrees. Overall, the Orthelligent system is judged to be a valid test system for functional motion analysis.
In addition to discussing the measurement results, this publication also looked in more detail at the special features of functional movement tests and discussed their significance for practical applications.
