“…Confidence in walking was assessed using the mGES. 11,12 The mGES is a 10-item self-report measure that assesses the walking confidence under challenging everyday circumstances as follows: (Q1) walking on a level surface; (Q2) walking on grass; (Q3) stepping over an obstacle; (Q4) stepping down from a curb; (Q5) stepping over a curb; (Q6) ascending stairs with handrails; (Q7) descending stairs with handrails; (Q8) ascending stairs without handrails; (Q9) descending stairs without handrails; and (Q10) walking over a long distance. Each question was scored individually on a 10-point scale, with a maximum total score of 100 points, and a high score indicating high confidence.…”

“…In addition, previous studies suggested that the mGES is associated with physical performance, such as chair stand frequency, open‐eyes one‐leg stand, walking speed, walking endurance, and physical activity; 7,11 however, it was not possible to determine the temporal relationship because of the cross‐sectional nature of these studies. Notably, no longitudinal study has investigated the relationship between physical function and age‐related decline in mGES.…”

AimThis study aimed to calculate the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for a modified Gait Efficacy Scale (mGES) over 3 years and to clarify the predictors of mGES decline.MethodsIn total, 87 community‐dwelling older adults were enrolled in this 3‐year longitudinal study. The mGES, fall history and physical function (chair stand frequency, open‐eyes one‐leg stand, open–close stepping test, walking speed, walking endurance [shuttle stamina walk test] and physical activity) were assessed at baseline. After a 3‐year follow‐up period, the mGES and Global Rating of Change Scale were assessed. The MCID was calculated using anchor‐based methods, with the Global Rating of Change Scale as an anchor. The participants were classified into the decline and keep groups based on whether the changes in the mGES were greater than the MCID. A logistic regression analysis was conducted using the mGES as the dependent variable and physical characteristics, fall history, and physical function as independent variables.ResultsThe MCID for the mGES over 3 years was −7.38 points. A logistic regression analysis identified low open–close stepping (odds ratio, 0.87; 95% confidence interval, 0.782–0.985; P = 0.027) and the shuttle stamina walk test (odds ratio, 0.974; 95% confidence interval, 0.949–1.000; P = 0.049) as predictors of the mGES decline.ConclusionThese findings suggest that a change of 7.38 points in the mGES was clinically significant and that poor agility and walking endurance can predict future decline in the mGES.

“…The ability to walk efficiently and safely is crucial for performing daily activities, with implications for independence and social participation. A reduced gait performance can lead to a vicious cycle toward the further deterioration of participation and overall well-being among diverse populations, including the elderly [1], individuals with musculoskeletal [2] and neurological conditions [3], and those with chronic conditions affecting mobility [4]. Strategies aimed at preserving or enhancing gait performance are essential in various healthcare and rehabilitation contexts, underscoring the need for effective gait training interventions.…”

This study investigated the immediate effects of auditory feedback training on gait performance and kinematics in 19 healthy young adults, focusing on bilateral changes, despite unilateral training. Baseline and post-training kinematic measurements, as well as the feedback training were performed on a treadmill with a constant velocity. Significant improvements were seen in step length (trained: 590.7 mm to 611.1 mm, 95%CI [7.609, 24.373]; untrained: 591.1 mm to 628.7 mm, 95%CI [10.698, 30.835]), toe clearance (trained: 13.9 mm to 16.5 mm, 95%CI [1.284, 3.503]; untrained: 11.8 mm to 13.7 mm, 95%CI [1.763, 3.612]), ankle dorsiflexion angle at terminal stance (trained: 8.3 deg to 10.5 deg, 95%CI [1.092, 3.319]; untrained: 9.2 deg to 12.0 deg, 95%CI [1.676, 3.573]), hip flexion angular velocity, (trained: −126.5 deg/s to −131.0 deg/s, 95%CI [−9.054, −2.623]; untrained: −130.2 deg/s to −135.3 deg/s, 95%CI [−10.536, −1.675]), ankle angular velocity at terminal stance (trained: −344.7 deg/s to −359.1 deg/s, 95%CI [−47.540, −14.924]; untrained: −340.3 deg/s to −376.9 deg/s, 95%CI [−37.280, −13.166s]), and gastrocnemius EMG activity (trained: 0.60 to 0.66, 95%CI [0.014, 0.258]; untrained: 0.55 to 0.65, 95%CI [0.049, 0.214]). These findings demonstrate the efficacy of auditory feedback training in enhancing key gait parameters, highlighting the bilateral benefits from unilateral training.

Background Established health-related quality of life scores do not consider both subjective and objective indices of health. We propose the subjective and objective quality of life score (SOQOL) for the comprehensive assessment of health-related quality of life and aim to provide normative population data. The SOQOL is compatible with smartphone applications, allowing widespread use on a global scale. Methods Normative SOQOL population data was sourced from pre-existing datasets on the EQ-5D-5L, daily step count, and walking speed. Normative values were calculated using weighted grand means. We trialled the SOQOL in a group of five patients presenting to a spinal neurosurgery clinic. Results SOQOL scores decreased with age, and women had lower scores in every age group. In our case series, the spine patients with the biggest SOQOL deficit compared to age- and sex-matched population averages were found to be surgical while the rest were non-surgical. Conclusions The SOQOL shows promise as a simple and effective scoring tool that is compatible with smartphones, potentially useful for screening in primary and specialized care settings, and for assessment following healthcare interventions. This study, however, is preliminary, and the findings are primarily suggestive. They underline the necessity for future, more comprehensive studies to validate and expand upon these initial observations. The conclusion of both this abstract and the full paper will clearly state these limitations and the preliminary nature of the study.
