WEARABLE DEVICES IN CLINICAL GAIT ANALYSIS

Portable, efficient, exact, detailed, early and cost-effective clinical gait analysis (CGA) has key influence for planning, development and assessment rehabilitation strategies and models, as far as for prosthetics assessment. Novel families of mobile CGA solutions may provide earlier detection, more exact diagnosis, and more effective therapy of the gait disorders. Remote integration of aforementioned solutions to hospital information system may provide better and more actual knowledge for clinical decision-making purposes. This study aims at review of the alternative wearable devices to measure selected gait parameters, depending on the desired accuracy level
