Background The aim of this study was to evaluate a method based on a single
accelerometer for the assessment of gait symmetry and regularity in subjects wearing lower …

Background Symmetry and regularity of gait are essential outcomes of gait retraining
programs, especially in lower-limb amputees. This study aims presenting an algorithm to …

Accelerometry can be used to objectively assess the walking ability of people with a lower-
limb prosthesis inside and outside the laboratory setting. In this study, the validity of the …

Background The literature suggests that optimal levels of gait symmetry might exist for lower-
limb amputees. Not only these optimal values are unknown, but we also don't know typical …

The purpose of this research was to evaluate a newly developed system for assessing and
providing feedback of gait symmetry information in real time to subjects walking on a …

Background People with lower limb amputation often walk with asymmetrical gait patterns
potentially leading to long-term health problems, ultimately affecting their quality of life. The …

Normal gait is characterised by a high level of inter-leg symmetry of gait parameters.
Therefore, efforts in rehabilitation of amputees are directed at the construction of a …

BACKGROUND: It is important to understand the characteristics of amputee gait to develop
more functional prostheses. The aim of this study is to quantitatively evaluate amputee gait …

in transtibial amputees and control subjects and their influence on the swing phase during …

Prosthetists must be skilled in observational gait analysis to perform a rapid assessment of
their client's gait in the clinic and make appropriate adjustments to the prosthesis to …
