Objectives. The study aimed to investigate the quality characteristics of the tool developed based on electronic IT resources for measuring the level of movements in the joints of the lower limbs of students with disabilities caused by injuries.
Material and methods. The experimental study involved 32 first-year students who had sustained lower limb injuries as a result of the war and were in remission. The methods used included analysis, synthesis, systematization, generalization, technical modeling, pedagogical experiments, and mathematical statistics.
Results. A means of measuring movements in the joints of the lower limbs has been developed using electronic IT resources. The basis of the tool is a measuring line consisting of a printed circuit board on which is placed a design of capacitive sensors, a switching line, and a signal converter that measures the signal received by the sensors. The measurement results are transmitted to the controller and then to the PC via an interface implemented based on Bluetooth wireless technology. To implement the measuring tool, a controller is used, which has a board built on the synthesis of the Arduino electronic hardware platform and the Raspberry Pi minicomputer. The test results are displayed on the PC monitor screen. The determination of the qualitative characteristics of the test, in the case of recording the results of a tool developed on the basis of electronic IT resources for measuring the level of movements in the joints of the lower limbs of students with disabilities, established that the level of reliability of the test is above 0.90 (“excellent”) validity – from 0, 6 (“high”). Empirical data collected directly from the experiment have a low level of reliability: qualitative indicators of reliability in the range are below 0.70 (“may have limited applicability”), validity – < 0.3 (“low validity”).
Conclusions. Developed based on electronic IT resources, the tool for measuring the level of movements in the joints of the lower limbs of students with disabilities due to limb injuries has significant advantages, such as the availability of functions, ease of use and efficiency. Ensuring high efficiency and objectivity of control contributes to performing control operations in real-time. By using assessment tools with a high level of reliability and validity, we ensure the detection of reliable changes in the state of the joints of the lower limbs of students with disabilities, thus eliminating the influence of errors in making managerial decisions in the planning process of their PE.
