Gait Parameters Can Be Derived Reliably and Validly from Augmented Reality Glasses in People with Parkinson's Disease Performing 10-m Walk Tests at Comfortable and Fast Speeds.

ABSTRACT: The 10-m walk test (10MWT) is a stopwatch-based clinical mobility assessment. To better understand mobility limitations, 10MWT test completion times may be complemented with gait parameters like step length. State-of-the-art augmented reality (AR) glasses can potentially do this given their unique 3D-positional data from which gait parameters may be derived. We examined the test-retest reliability, concurrent validity, and face validity of gait parameters derived from AR glasses during a 10MWT in 20 people with Parkinson's disease, performed at self-selected comfortable and fast-but-safe walking speeds. AR-derived 10MWT completion times and gait parameters (mean step length, cadence, and maximal gait speed) were compared across repetitions and with lab-based (Interactive Walkway) and clini
