Walking/gait quality is a useful clinical tool to assess general health and is now broadly
described as the sixth vital sign. This has been mediated by advances in sensing …

Gait asymmetries are commonly observed in neurological populations and linked to
decreased gait velocity, balance decrements, increased fall risk, and heightened metabolic …

In clinical practice and research, innovative digital technologies have been proposed for the
characterization of neuromuscular and movement disorders through objective measures …

Purpose The aim of this study was to analyze factors affecting spatio-temporal gait

changes, could offer a valuable clinical tool. The findings indicate the potential utility of gait …

The increasing average age emphasizes the importance of gait analysis in elderly
populations. Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) represent a suitable wearable technology for …

The human gait can be described as the synergistic activity of all individual components of
the sensory–motor system. The central nervous system (CNS) develops synergies to …

Portable monitoring devices based on Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) have the potential
to serve as quantitative assessments of human movement. This article proposes a new …

Fourier analysis has been deeply explored and adopted in the investigation of human
biomechanics and motion. Among objective biomechanical parameters, the human center of …

Nonlinear analysis methods enable the evaluation of signal chaos parameters such as
