Each frame was examined by three observers who made two attempts.

For this purpose, a wire structure figure in the shape of a human lower limb was designed and measured in AutoCAD it was then recorded during a pendular motion with a video-camera placed at distance of 5 m and analyzed with Kinovea in the 4 perspectives (90°, 75°, 60° and 45°).

The main objective of this study is to determine the validity of the Kinovea software compared to AutoCAD, and its intra and inter-rater reliability in obtaining coordinates data a second objective is to compare their results at 4 different perspectives (90°, 75°, 60° and 45°) and to assess the inter and intra rater reliability at each perspective. Although it has been validated as a tool to assess time-related variables, few studies assessed its validity compared to a Gold Standard furthermore, its reliability in different perspectives has not been previously assessed. One interesting tool is that it can measure an object (or person) passing in front of the camera, taking into account the perspective between the camera and the recorded object. This low-cost technology has been used in sports sciences, as well as in the clinical and research fields. Kinovea is a free 2D motion analysis software that can be used to measure kinematic parameters.

An objective analysis of the human movement can help both clinical assessment and sports performance.
