Summary

Gait analysis is an effective tool used for a variety of purposes, including assessing neurological diseases, risk of falling, orthopedic disability and progress during rehabilitation.The analysis of gait and jump performance must be applicable in a clinical setting. Thus; it needs to be easy to apply in a variety of life situations.The measurements should be reproducible, stable, accurate, capable of distinguishing between normal and abnormal conditions, and cost-effective. Jump measures can predict injury risks, serve as talent identification, and replicate explosive competitive activities of athletes. Furthermore, the performance in vertical jumping can be associated with neuromuscular fatigue.The purpose of this study was to confirm the test-retest reliability of the G-walk wearable sensor system for gait and jump parameters in healthy adults.

Interventions

DEVICE

The G-Walk sensor system (G-Walk)

The G-Walk is a wireless sensor device which is placed on an elastic belt and worn on the waist of the person being evaluated. The device is placed with the center of the device at the fifth lumbar vertebrae and the patient is completely free to walk, run and jump wearing this device. The gait and jump performance of the participants was assessed with the participants wearing this device two times to investigate the test-retest reliability. The second being 7 days after the first.
