Long-term gait measurements in daily life: Results from the Berlin Aging Study II (BASE-II) [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND: Walking ability is an important prerequisite for activity, social participation and independent living. While in most healthy adults, this ability can be assumed as given, limitations in walking ability occur with increasing age ...

Locomotion in extinct giant kangaroos: were sthenurines hop-less monsters? [PDF]

, 2014
The extinct \u27sthenurine\u27 family of giant Kangaroos, up to three times larger than living Kangaroos, were able to walk on two feet, according to new research. Abstract Sthenurine kangaroos (Marsupialia, Diprotodontia, Macropodoidea) were an extinct

Measuring Dynamic Leg Length during Normal Gait

Sensors, 2018
Dynamic leg length [DLL] is a resultant factor of anatomic leg length and lower limb movement that is measured by the distance from the hip to the heel, ankle, and forefoot during the gait cycle.

Objective Gait Analysis Using a Single-Point Wearable Sensor to Assess Lumbar Spine Patients Pre- and Postoperatively

Surgical Techniques Development
Background: Outcome measurement in lumbar surgery is traditionally performed using patient questionnaires that may be limited by subjectivity. Objective gait analysis may supplement patient assessment but must be clinically viable.
