Abstract
The final goal of our research is to develop a measurement system for quantitative evaluation of the skillfulness of the lower extremities. There is a strong need for methods of quantitative evaluation of therapeutic effects to be available in rehabilitation clinics. The quantitative evaluation results should also have high reliability and high validity. Previously, we developed a measurement system to assess of the lower extremity function with a circular course, and a star-shaped course. The quantitative evaluation method for the lower extremities in both the circular and star-shaped courses has sufficient reliability. In this study, it was confirmed that the proposed quantitative evaluation method has sufficient validity in both the circular and star-shaped courses.
