This study aimed to determine the visual assessment skills during an observation-based gait analysis. Participants (N=40) included 20 physiotherapists (PTs) with>10 years of clinical experience (physiotherapists) and 20 physiotherapy students. Both groups watched a video of the gait of a subject with Guillain-Barré syndrome before and after being provided with information regarding other movements. Further, visual lines were measured using an EMR-8 eye mark recorder, and the results were compared between both groups. The average gaze duration was longer for students than for PTs (F1,79=53.3; p<0.01), whereas PTs gazed more often than the students (F1,79=87.6; p< 0.01). Furthermore, the PTs moved their eyes vertically more often than the students (F1,151=9.1; P< 0.01). We found that being able to discriminate the relative physical relationship of body locations by frequent and rapid vertical gazes could be an indication of the level of skills as an index to express the visual assessment skill in an observation-based gait analysis.
本研究旨在确定基于观察的步态分析中的视觉评估技能。参与者（N = 40）包括20名具有超过10年临床经验的物理治疗师（PT）（物理治疗师）和20名物理治疗专业学生。两组在获得有关其他动作的信息之前和之后观看了一名吉兰-巴雷综合征患者的步态视频。此外，使用EMR-8眼动记录仪测量视线，比较两组结果。学生的平均注视持续时间比物理治疗师长（F1,79 = 53.3；p < 0.01），而物理治疗师的注视频率比学生高（F1,79 = 87.6；p < 0.01）。此外，物理治疗师的眼睛垂直移动频率比学生高（F1,151 = 9.1；P < 即01）。我们发现，在基于观察的步态分析中，能够通过频繁且快速的垂直注视来辨别身体部位的相对位置关系，可能是作为表达视觉评估技能指标的技能水平的一个指示。
