To supplement the problem of subjective performance assessments, a number of objective biomechanical outcomes like kinetic and kinematic variables of each joint have been developed and utilized in sports physical therapy field. Based on the biomechanical outcomes, the organization of the difference elements among body segments, namely motor coordination, has been quantified and assessed as one of physical ability. However, since the interpretation of primitive biomechanical outcomes is also inadequate to identify the motor coordination, more specific analyses are still required. In motor control filed, some analyses for the motor coordination have been studied and developed such as vector coding technique, autocorrelation and cross-correlation, total-local covariance analysis, uncontrolled manifold analysis, principle component analysis, independent component analysis, and non-negative matrix factorization. These analyses are conceptually introduced in this study. Because some analyses have precautions on its application, careful understanding is necessary when sports physical therapists assess the motor coordination. The application of the motor coordination assessment would be helpful to set treatment strategies in the sports physical therapy.
