The evaluation of a motion assessment support system based on a consolidation of observation and biometric measurements

Abstract

We made a trial motion assessment support system, which can record biometric measurements, video of body motion and the coach's live assessment simultaneously. A usability test was carried out when 6 subjects performed an exercise with two walking poles and their performances were monitored and instructed by a coach using this motion assessment support system. As a result, the user interface was changed following feedback and the coach reported that using the recorded data they could identify points of instruction quickly and it was easier to instruct the subjects using measured data and video.
