NO
In healthy adults, mock prosthesis attachment and metronome-cued walking are performed, and gait data recorded with a pelvic wearable sensor smartphone are used to calculate the maximum finite-time Lyapunov exponent lambda max. The objectives are 1 to determine the minimum number of steps required for lambda max to reach a plateau 2 to validate whether lambda max from concatenated short walking segments can serve as a surrogate for lambda max from continuous walking using ICC and Bland-Altman analysis and 3 to examine the effects of free versus metronome-regulated walking and presence versus absence of mock prosthesis attachment on lambda max.
Others
To establish scientific evidence for wearable-sensor measurement protocols and data processing methods for prosthetic and orthotic gait evaluation.

In healthy adults, mock prosthesis attachment and metronome-cued walking are performed, and gait data recorded with a pelvic wearable sensor (smartphone) are used to calculate the maximum finite-time Lyapunov exponent (lambda max). The objectives are: (1) to determine the minimum number of steps required for lambda max to reach a plateau; (2) to validate whether lambda max from concatenated short walking segments can serve as a surrogate for lambda max from continuous walking (ICC and Bland-Altman analysis); and (3) to examine the effects of free versus metronome-regulated walking and presence versus absence of mock prosthesis attachment on lambda max.
(1) Minimum number of steps for lambda max to reach a plateau (estimated by piecewise linear regression). (2) Agreement between lambda max from continuous walking and lambda max from concatenated short segments (ICC[2,1] and Bland-Altman analysis). (3) Differences in lambda max among four walking conditions (repeated-measures one-way ANOVA).

Duration one visit per participant total about 90-120 minutes. Four within-subject conditions in sequence.
1 Free walking normal without mock prosthesis self-paced continuous about 300-400 steps and short segments.
2 Free walking with mock prosthesis on right lower limb self-paced continuous and short segments.
3 Regulated walking with mock prosthesis synchronized to individual metronome at conversational volume.
4 Regulated walking without mock prosthesis synchronized to same metronome.
Order of conditions 3 and 4 is randomized per participant.
