Abstract
Subtle signs of musculoskeletal diseases are likely to be discovered earlier in task involving walking up the stairs. Stair walking monitoring in daily living environments is what is needed to screen people for clinical treatment. Tools are being developed for modeling digital humans within virtual environments to facilitate designing products, evaluating capabilities, predicting injuries in real-world scenarios. Coach's eye is one of the most effective tool to provide meaningful feedback to the patients, so they can make rapid improvements and also helps quickly improve overall patient performance by providing instant video feedback. Purpose: (i) To measure kinematic knee ROM using coach's eye feedback tool, (ii) To identify the normal tread depth and riser height in relation to normal kinematics. Methodology: A group of 30 subjects including male and female having knee pain with the mean age 41.75 (±5.784) were analyzed. The groups underwent kinematic analysis while climbing up the stairs by step over step pattern in their own storey buildings. Videos were obtained in the sagittal plane by the video recorder utilizing the coach's eye feedback tool. The level of pain was measured using visual analogue scale. Reflective markers were attached on right & left upper iliac crest, lateral femoral condyle & lateral malleolus for effortless measurement of knee joint angle
