Association between Self-Reported Prior Night's Sleep and Single-Task Gait in Healthy, Young Adults: A Study Using Machine Learning.

ABSTRACT: Failure to obtain the recommended 7-9 h of sleep has been associated with injuries in youth and adults. However, most research on the influence of prior night's sleep and gait has been conducted on older adults and clinical populations. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify individuals who experience partial sleep deprivation and/or sleep extension the prior night using single task gait. Participants (n = 123, age 24.3 ± 4.0 years; 65% female) agreed to participate in this study. Self-reported sleep duration of the night prior to testing was collected. Gait data was collected with inertial sensors during a 2 min walk test. Group differences (<7 h and >9 h, poor sleepers; 7-9 h, good sleepers) in gait characteristics were assessed using machine learning and a post-hoc
