Validity of a wireless instrumented insole (WalkinSense system) for measuring gait metrics.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Gait analysis has become a valuable tool in assessing abnormal gait patterns and quantifying improvements resulting from interventions, particularly in the rehabilitation of orthopaedic patients. Wearables can measure gait metrics in daily life settings, but they must first be validated before being applied in such contexts. This study aims to assess the validity of a wireless instrumented insole (WalkinSense).

Methods

Recordings of 104 healthy participants were obtained at various speed and slope conditions (3 km/h, 4.5 km/h [-3°, -6°, +3° and +6°], 6 km/h and 9 km/h). Spatiotemporal and kinematic variables were collected simultaneously with an instrumented treadmill, a three-dimensional motion capture system and with the WalkinSense system. Mean bias between the sy
