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

Background: Gait is often impaired in people after stroke, restricting personal independence
and affecting quality of life. During stroke rehabilitation, walking capacity is conventionally …

The availability of wearable sensors allows shifting gait analysis from the traditional
laboratory settings, to daily life conditions. However, limited knowledge is available about …

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 …

Background: Maintaining a healthy gait into old age is key to preserving the quality of life
and reducing the risk of falling. Nonlinear dynamic analyses (NDAs) are a promising method …

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 …

The portability of wearable inertial sensors makes them particularly suitable for measuring
gait in real-world walking situations. However, it is unclear how well inertial sensors can …

Background In recent years, minimalist footwear has been increasingly promoted for its use
in sportive and recreational activities. These shoes are considered to function naturally like …

Introduction Barefoot running recently received increased attention, with controversial
results regarding its effects on injury risk and performance. Numerous studies examined the …
