Validity of the instrumented push and release test to quantify postural responses in persons with multiple sclerosis
Objective To test the validity of wearable inertial sensors to provide objective measures of
postural stepping responses to the push and release clinical test in people with multiple
sclerosis. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting University medical center balance disorder
laboratory. Participants Total sample N= 73; persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) n= 52;
healthy controls n= 21. Main Outcome Measures Stepping latency, time and number of steps
required to reach stability, and initial step length were calculated using 3 inertial …
