A Pilot Study to Validate a Wearable Inertial Sensor for Gait Assessment in Older Adults with Falls

The high prevalence of falls and the enormous impact they have on the elderly population is a cause for concern. We aimed to develop a walking-monitor gait pattern (G-STRIDE) for older adults based on a 6-axis inertial measurement (IMU) with the application of pedestrian dead reckoning algorithms an...
