Gait measures

Description

SPARC(-Acc, -V, -AP, −ML & -Gyro, -Yaw, −Roll, -Pitch)

Spectral arc length (unitless)

Harmonic Ratios (V, AP, ML)

Measure of step to step symmetry (unitless)

Mean Gait Speed

Mean gait speed (m/s)

Stride time mean

Mean stride time (s)

Stride time variability

Coefficient of variation of the stride time (%)

  1. Note: Acc acceleration, V vertical, AP anteroposterior, ML medio-lateral, Gyro gyroscope
