Wearables for Running Gait Analysis: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Running gait assessment has traditionally been performed using subjective observation or expensive laboratory-based objective technologies, such as three-dimensional motion capture or force plates. However, recent developments in wearable devices allow for continuous monitoring and analysis of running mechanics in any environment. Objective measurement of running gait is an important (clinical) tool for injury assessment and provides measures that can be used to enhance performance.

Objectives

We aimed to systematically review the available literature investigating how wearable technology is being used for running gait analysis in adults.

Methods

A systematic search of the literature was conducted in the following scientific databases: PubMed, Scopus, Web o
