Summary

-This observational study aims to compare gait analysis performed using pose estimation algorithms with inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based gait analysis in older adults. Additionally, it aims to determine the reliability of gait analysis using pose estimation algorithms in this population.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Are gait analyses using pose estimation algorithms consistent with those performed using an inertial measurement unit-based system in older adults?
2. Are gait analyses using pose estimation algorithms reliable in older adults?

Participants will take part in two measurement sessions. In the first session, they will be evaluated for inclusion criteria and general health status, and will complete gait analysis using both G-Walk (BTS Bioengineering) IMU sensors and a standard video camera simultaneously. In the second session, scheduled 1-3 days later, participants will perform only the 4-meter walking test, which will be recorded by video for pose estimation analysis.

Conditions

  • Older Adults (65 Years and Older)

Interventions

OTHER

Not Related

This observational study does not involve any therapeutic intervention. Instead, all participants undergo gait analysis using two different measurement methods-2D pose estimation algorithms and an inertial measurement unit (G-Walk system)-to compare their outputs. Both assessments are performed on the same individuals under standardized conditions without altering their routine care.
