Abstract:Background: Accelerometers facilitate analysis outside traditional gait laboratories. Before using these devices on a larger scale and in clinical settings, a thorough assessment of their performance in diverse populations is required. The goal of this study was to present an acceleration-based reference database for stair climbing in healthy subjects. The effect of age was studied with different parameters, such as step time up and down, asymmetry and irregularity.Methods: Our study included 100 healthy subje… Show more
