Knee osteoarthritis is a disease that can be initiated along multiple pathways that ultimately
leads to pain, loss of function and breakdown of the articular cartilage. While the various …

Background Quantitative assessment of severity of ataxia‐specific gait impairments from
wearable technology could provide sensitive performance outcome measures with high face …

The increased use of gait analysis has raised the need for a better understanding of how
walking speed and demographic variations influence asymptomatic gait. Previous analyses …

Maintaining and increasing walking speed in old age is clinically important because this
activity of daily living predicts functional and clinical state. We reviewed evidence for the …

Our mobility is an important daily requirement so much so that any disruption to it severely
degrades our perceived quality of life. Studies in gait and human movement sciences …

Introduction Gait deficits are debilitating in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD), which
inevitably deteriorate over time. Gait analysis is a valuable method to assess disease …

It is well known that ankle joint power generation (A2) is reduced in healthy older adults
(OG) during gait. No general consensus exists, however, as to what fundamental …

Introduction Wearable inertial measurement units (IMUs) enable gait analysis in the clinic,
but require calibrations that may affect subsequent gait measurements. This study assessed …

Objective To compare age-related patterns of gait with patterns associated with knee
osteoarthritis (OA), the following hypotheses were tested:(H1) The sagittal-plane knee …
