Enhanced gait tracking measures for individuals with stroke using leg-worn inertial sensors by Francesco Lanotte, Shusuke Okita, Megan K. O’Brien, Arun Jayaraman

“…Previous work and algorithms developed for specific clinical populations, like in individuals with Parkinson’s disease, often do not translate effectively to other groups, such as stroke survivors, who exhibit significant variability in their gait patterns. The Salarian gait segmentation algorithm (SGSA) has demonstrated the potential to detect gait events and subsequently estimate clinical measures of gait speed, stride time, and other temporal parameters using two leg-worn IMUs in individuals with Parkinson’s disease. …”
