Background Running gait assessment has traditionally been performed using subjective
observation or expensive laboratory-based objective technologies, such as three …

Abstract Background Inertial measurement units (IMUs) are used for running gait analysis in
a variety of sports. These sensors have been attached at various locations to capture stride …

Abnormal running kinematics are associated with an increased incidence of lower extremity
injuries among runners. Accurate and unobtrusive running kinematic measurement plays an …

Wearable technology has been viewed as one of the plausible alternatives to capture
human motion in an unconstrained environment, especially during running. However …

Wearable sensors and machine learning algorithms are becoming a viable alternative for
biomechanical analysis outside of the laboratory. The purpose of this work was to estimate …

The identification of the initial contact (IC) and toe off (TO) events are crucial components of
running gait analyses. To evaluate running gait in real-world settings, robust gait event …

This study aimed to evaluate the concurrent validity of two different inertial measurement
units for measuring spatiotemporal parameters during running on a treadmill, by comparing …

Background Walking speed is often measured with a stopwatch throughout stroke recovery.
Wearable sensors also have been used recently to measure walking speed and provide …

Peak vertical ground reaction force (F z, max), contact time (tc), and flight time (tf) are key
variables of running biomechanics. The gold standard method (GSM) to measure these …

This study aimed to introduce and validate a new method to estimate and correct the
orientation drift measured from foot-worn inertial sensors. A modified strap-down integration …
