Assistive devices (ADs) are often used by rehabilitation professionals to help individuals walk independently. When using ADs, individuals show observable changes in their walking pattern. However, little research exists objectively documenting the acute, real-time changes in gait that occur despite the significant influence these devices exert on an individual’s movement. Understanding the acute changes in movement that occur with use of an AD is a very important component in the decision-making process for rehabilitation professionals who recommend and, often, provide ADs to patients in the hospital or clinic to foster patient compliance and thus, safety. This series of research studies examining external AD use are the first to quantitat...
