The purpose of this study is to validate gait measurements obtained from an IMU sensor by comparing spatiotemporal parameters (e.g., gait speed and stride length) and sagittal lower limb joint angles with those measured by a 3D motion capture system during walking.
Others
This study is a fundamental validation research that evaluates the applicability and reliability of an IMU sensor for gait measurement. It does not aim to assess clinical diagnosis or therapeutic effects. By comparing IMU-derived gait data with those from a 3D motion capture system, this study aims to clarify the use of the IMU sensor for quantitative gait analysis.
Validation of the agreement between gait spatiotemporal parameters (e.g., gait speed, stride length, gait cycle duration) and sagittal lower limb joint angles measured by an IMU sensor and those measured by a 3D motion capture system, using RMSE, ICC, and Bland-Altman analysis.
Evaluation of differences in sagittal lower limb joint angle waveforms throughout the gait cycle using Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) to identify agreement and error regions between the IMU sensor and the 3D motion capture system. In addition, exploratory analyses will be conducted to assess variations in measurement errors under different walking speeds.
