Gait Symmetry Assessment with a Low Back 3D Accelerometer in Post-Stroke Patients

Gait Symmetry Assessment with a Low Back 3D Accelerometer in Post-Stroke Patients

Gait asymmetry is an important marker of mobility impairment post stroke. This study proposes a new gait symmetry index (GSI) to quantify gait symmetry with one 3D accelerometer at L3 (GSIL3). GSIL3 was evaluated with 16 post stroke patients and nine healthy controls in the Six-Minute-Walk-Test (6-M...
