Background Although digital mobility outcomes (DMOs) can be readily calculated from real-
world data collected with wearable devices and ad-hoc algorithms, technical validation is …

Introduction: Accurately assessing people's gait, especially in real-world conditions and in
case of impaired mobility, is still a challenge due to intrinsic and extrinsic factors resulting in …

Introduction The clinical assessment of mobility, and walking specifically, is still mainly
based on functional tests that lack ecological validity. Thanks to inertial measurement units …

The analysis of the stability of human gait may be effectively performed when estimates of
the base of support are available. The base of support area is defined by the relative …

Background Measuring mobility in daily life entails dealing with confounding factors arising
from multiple sources, including pathological characteristics, patient specific walking …

Postural instability is a common complication in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD)
associated with recurrent falls and fall-related injuries. The test of retropulsion, consisting of …

Accurate detection of gait events in older adults, particularly during perturbed walking, is
essential for evaluating balance control and fall risk. Traditional force plate-based methods …

The L-test is a performance-based measure to assess balance and mobility. Currently, the
primary outcome from this test is the time required to finish it. In this study we present the …

Instrumented gait analysis is widely used in clinical settings for the early detection of
neurological disorders, monitoring disease progression, and evaluating fall risk. However …
