Table 1.
Critical points in the case example movements
| Critical Point | Speckle Tracking | MACI | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Example 1 | Turn, dorsal flexion 1: | 56 (700) | 57 (712) |
| Turn, plantar flexion 1: | 153 (1934) | 152 (1921) | |
| Turn, dorsal flexion 2: | 246 (3117) | 246 (3117) | |
| Turn, plantar flexion 2: | 346 (4389) | 345 (4377) | |
| Example 2 | Concentric phase: | 1-156 (0-1972) | 1-164 (0-2074) |
| Static contraction phase: | 157-338 (1985-4288) | 165-329 (2087-4173) | |
| Eccentric phase: | 339-439 (4300-5573) | 330-470 (4186-5967) | |
| Example 3 | Turn, repetition 1: | 49 (611) | 49 (611) |
| Turn, repetition 2: | 178 (2252) | 184 (2328) | |
| Turn, repetition 3: | 309 (3919) | 312 (3957) | |
This table provides a means for comparing the time of change of each movement, and each movement phase, for each method. The time of changes was found from the results in Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5.
The frames at which the dorsal and plantar flexions are peaking are presented for Case Example 1. The duration of the movement phases are presented for Case Example 2. The frames at which the plantar flexions are peaking are presented for Case Example 3. The corresponding times in milliseconds are also stated within parentheses. All numbers are approximates and were found from the end of the range of motion for Example 1 and Example 3, and the beginning and the end of the MVC for Example 2.
By comparing the columns of the two methods, it is seen that both methods give very similar results.
