Analyzing the Eye Gaze Behaviour of Students and Experienced Physiotherapists during Observational Movement Analysis.

Physiotherapists use observational movement analysis (OMA) to inform clinical reasoning. This study aimed to (1) determine the feasibility of characterizing eye gaze behaviour during OMA with eye-tracking technology, (2) characterize experienced neurological physiotherapists' and physiotherapy students' eye gaze behaviour during OMA, and (3) investigate differences in eye gaze behaviour during OMA between physiotherapy students and experienced physiotherapists. Eight students and eight physiotherapists wore an eye-tracking device while watching a video of a person with a history of stroke and subsequent concussion perform sit to stand.
