Thus, both evaluation systems and simulated patients have become urgent requirements. Accordingly, this study proposes a method to evaluate the nurse\u2019s transfer skill through observation from the patient. After verifying the proposed method, it will be integrated with a robotic patient as a future work. To verify if such an evaluation is practical, a checklist comprising 16 steps with correct and incorrect methods was proposed by the nursing teachers. Further, the evaluation parameters were determined as translational acceleration, rotational speed, and joint angle of patient. Inertial sensors and motion capture were employed to measure the translational acceleration, rotational speed, and joint angle. An experiment was conducted with two nursing teachers, who were asked to carry out both correct and incorrect methods. According to the results, three parameters reveal the difference for a patient under correct\/incorrect methods and can further be used to evaluate the nurse\u2019s skill once the thresholds are determined. In addition, the applicability of inertial sensors is confirmed for the use of robot development.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18092975","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,6]],"date-time":"2018-09-06T10:38:38Z","timestamp":1536230318000},"page":"2975","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Translational Acceleration, Rotational Speed, and Joint Angle of Patients Related to Correct\/Incorrect Methods of Transfer Skills by Nurses"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8523-9920","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chingszu","family":"Lin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research into Artifacts, Center for Engineering (RACE), The University of Tokyo, Chiba 277-8568, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masako","family":"Kanai-Pak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing, Kanto Gakuin University, Yokohama 236-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jukai","family":"Maeda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing, Tokyo Ariake University of Medical and Health Sciences, Tokyo 135-0063, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yasuko","family":"Kitajima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing, Tokyo Ariake University of Medical and Health Sciences, Tokyo 135-0063, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mitsuhiro","family":"Nakamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing, Tokyo Ariake University of Medical and Health Sciences, Tokyo 135-0063, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Noriaki","family":"Kuwahara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Advanced Fibro-Science, Kyoto Institute of Technology, Kyoto 606-8585, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Taiki","family":"Ogata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research into Artifacts, Center for Engineering (RACE), The University of Tokyo, Chiba 277-8568, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Ota","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research into Artifacts, Center for Engineering (RACE), The University of Tokyo, Chiba 277-8568, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"173","article-title":"A nursing shortage: Building organizational commitment among nurses\/practitioner application","volume":"46","author":"Nazarey","year":"2001","journal-title":"J.
