Abstract:Spatiotemporal variability during gait is linked to fall risk and could be monitored using wearable sensors. Although many users prefer wrist-worn sensors, most applications position at other sites. We developed and evaluated an application using a consumer-grade smartwatch inertial measurement unit (IMU). Young adults (N = 41) completed seven-minute conditions of treadmill gait at three different speeds. Single-stride outcomes (stride time, length, width, and speed) and spatiotemporal variability (coefficient… Show more
