Abstract Background Inertial measurement units (IMUs) offer the ability to measure walking
gait through a variety of biomechanical outcomes (eg, spatiotemporal, kinematics, other) …

Enhancement of activity is one major topic related to the aging society. Therefore, it is
necessary to understand people's motion and identify possible risk factors during activity …

The purpose of this study was to assess the concurrent validity and test–retest reliability of a
sensor-based gait analysis system. Eleven healthy subjects and four Parkinson's disease …

Objective To replace camera-based three-dimensional motion analyzers which are widely
used to analyze body movements and gait but are also costly and require a large dedicated …

Inertial sensor systems are becoming increasingly popular for gait analysis because their
use is simple and time efficient. This study aimed to compare joint kinematics measured by …

Background Walking patterns can provide important indications of a person's health status
and be beneficial in the early diagnosis of individuals with a potential walking disorder. For …

Inertial measurement units (IMUs) are increasingly popular and may be usable in clinical
routine to assess gait. However, assessing their intra-session reliability is crucial and has …

Self-motion perception used for locomotion and navigation requires the integration of visual,
vestibular, and proprioceptive input. In the absence of vision, postural stability and locomotor …

Background Gait stability and variability measures in barefoot and shod locomotion are
frequently investigated in younger but rarely in older adults. Moreover, most studies examine …

A stable gait pattern is a prerequisite to successfully master various activities of daily living.
Furthermore, reduced gait stability is associated with a higher risk of falling. To provide …
