| Popis: | [Purpose] Visual assessment of the quality of movement is a common and important component of physiotherapy. The purpose of this study is to quantify the level of proficiency of therapists and to obtain a new index of proficiency by measuring the coordinates of the gaze tracking trajectories of therapists with years of experience. [Participants and Methods] Eighteen voluntary physiotherapists (1st year (n=4), 7th year (n=1), 9th year (n=4), 10th year (n=3), 11th year (n=4), 13th year (n=1), and 21st year (n=1)) were recruited for this study. [Results] Discriminant analysis according to the size of the deviation between the X-axis and Y-axis of the range of gaze tracking during movement analysis measured from each therapist showed that the percentage of classification accuracy in the 10th year or less was 72.2%. Cluster analysis showed that two clusters were formed. Thirteen therapists in Cluster 2 were in their 9th year or more. Eye tracking trajectories can be classified by the 10th year of experience as a therapist. [Conclusion] It was shown that full-fledged therapists with 10 years of experience also expanded the range of eye tracking. The trajectory in the Y-axis direction tends to be extended with their 9th year or more of experience. In this point, quantitative judgments of eye-tracking results can serve as indicators of proficiency. The eye movements are important as a tool to objectively measure skills from experience. |
