The use of wearable sensors for the collection of lower extremity biomechanical data is
increasing in popularity, in part due to the ease of collecting data and the ability to capture …

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 …

Background: Adoption of new digital measures for clinical trials and practice has been
hindered by lack of actionable qualitative data demonstrating relevance of these metrics to …

Background Estimation of the effect that a drug or other intervention has on patient
symptoms and functions is crucial in heart failure trials. Traditional symptoms and functions …

This study aimed to validate a wearable device's walking speed estimation pipeline,
considering complexity, speed, and walking bout duration. The goal was to provide …

Progressive gait impairment is common among aging adults. Remote phenotyping of gait
during daily living has the potential to quantify gait alterations and evaluate the effects of …

Accurate and reliable measurement of real-world walking activity is clinically relevant,
particularly for people with mobility difficulties. Insights on walking can help understand …

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 …

Freezing of gait (FOG) is a debilitating problem that markedly impairs the mobility and
independence of 38-65% of people with Parkinson's disease. During a FOG episode …

Step length is an important diagnostic and prognostic measure of health and disease.
Wearable devices can estimate step length continuously (eg, in clinic or real-world settings) …
