| description | Examination of gait patterns has been used to determine severity, intervention triage and prognostic measures for many health conditions. Methods that generate detailed gait data for clinical use are typically logistically constrained to a formal gait laboratory setting. This has led to an interest in portable analysis systems for near clinical or community-based assessments. The following study assessed with the wearable accelerometer/gyroscopic, gait analysis system (LEGSYS+<sup>TM</sup>) and the standard of static motion capture camera (MOCAP) analysis during a treadmill walk at three different walking speeds in healthy participants (n = 15). To compare each speed, 20 strides were selected from the MOCAP data and compared with the LEGSYS+ strides at the same time point. Both scatter and bland-Altman plots with accompanying linear regression analysis for each of the parameters. Each stride parameter showed minimal or a consistent difference between the LEGSYS+ and MOCAP, with the phase parameters showing inconsistencies between the systems. Overall, LEGSYS+ stride parameters can be used in the clinical setting, with the utility of phase parameters needing to be taken with caution. |
