Balance impairment is common in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). However,
objective assessment of balance usually requires clinical expertise and/or the use of …

Objective Accelerometry has been identified as a possible ecologically valid and objective
approach for measuring community ambulation in multiple sclerosis (MS). This study …

The measurement of gait characteristics during a self-administered 2-minute walk test
(2MWT), in persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), using a single body-worn device, has …

BACKGROUND: Advances in portable sensor technology have opened an era for objective,
real-life monitoring of walking speed in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). PURPOSE: The …

Background Traditional laboratory-based kinetic and kinematic gait analyses are expensive,
time-intensive, and impractical for clinical settings. Inertial sensors have gained popularity in …

Background Gait characteristics and their changes during the 6-minute walking test (6MWT)
in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) have been described in the literature, which one …

Introduction: Walking speed is generally considered as the best outcome measure in trials
for people with multiple sclerosis (pMS). We recently designed a device based on range …

Longitudinal data are vital in order to understand intra individual gait changes with the
progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to …

Background Gait abnormalities are subtle in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with low
disability and need to be better determined. As a biomechanical approach, the Gait Profile …

Wearable sensors facilitate the evaluation of gait and balance impairment in the free-living
environment, often with observation periods spanning weeks, months, and even years. Data …
