Reliability of a wireless instrumented insole (WalkinSense system) for measuring spatiotemporal and kinematic gait variables.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Reliable gait analysis is essential for clinical assessment and research. Wearable technologies such as the WalkinSense system (WSS), a wireless instrumented insole system equipped with an inertial measurement unit, enable the measurement of spatiotemporal and kinematic gait parameters in real-world settings. The accuracy of the WSS has been previously validated. This study aims to evaluate the test-retest reliability of the WSS in healthy adults walking and running under various speed and slope conditions.

Methods

Forty-nine healthy adults completed two sessions one week apart, walking and running at 3, 4.5 (-3°, -6°, +3°, +6°), 6 and 9 km/h on a treadmill. Spatiotemporal variables, including stance time, swing time, stride time, stride length, single and double sup
