Step length is an important diagnostic and prognostic measure of health and disease. Wearable devices can estimate step length continuously (e.g., in clinic or real-world settings), however, the ...

Researchers have used machine learning technologies to develop an algorithm that converts data from a small, lightweight, waterproof wearable sensor taped to the lower back into an accurate estimate ...

Inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based gait analysis systems have become popular in clinical environments because of their low cost and quantitative measurement capability. When a shank is selected as ...

Changes in the coordination of step length and leg movement put people with Parkinson’s disease at risk of falls. Measuring these changes can serve as an important tool in Parkinson’s gait therapy and ...

Step-length synergy was measured using a methodology derived from mechanical engineering and adapted to the study of human movement. The methodology is not specific to gait analysis or Parkinson's, ...
