Introduction: The present review aims to provide an overview of the most common uses of
wearable inertial sensors in the field of clinical human movement analysis. Areas covered …

Gait analysis continues to be an important technique for many clinical applications to
diagnose and monitor certain diseases. Many mental and physical abnormalities cause …

Physics-based predictive simulations of human movement have the potential to support
personalized medicine, but large computational costs and difficulties to model control …

Deficits in the ankle plantarflexor muscles, such as weakness and contracture, occur
commonly in conditions such as cerebral palsy, stroke, muscular dystrophy, Charcot-Marie …

Objective: The aim of this article is to review systematically and appraise critically the
literature surrounding the research, comparing inertial sensors with any kind of gold …

The popularity of using accelerometer-based systems to quantify human movement patterns
has increased in recent years for clinicians and researchers alike. The benefits of using …

Background: a large proportion of falls in older people occur when walking; however the
mechanisms underlying impaired balance during gait are poorly understood. Objective: to …

With aging, individuals' gaits become slower and their steps shorter; both are thought to
improve stability against balance threats. Recent studies have shown that shorter step …
