Elements of the list correspond to frames in video clips. F10, L90, and L10 assess metrics based on their values at the beginning of the exercise, after the beginning of the exercise, or at the end of the exercise. Other abbreviations: ROM, range-of-motion; Pro.-Sup., pronation-supination status; Std. Dev., standard deviation.
