Walking as a Marker of Health and Disease
Impaired walking can be indicated in a range of disease conditions and injuries, including Parkinson’s, Cerebral Palsy, Alzheimers, Orthopaedics, and Stroke.
The restoration of walking is a fundamental goal of many rehabilitation programmes.
“Normal human walking requires a high level of movement coordination between our extremities and the trunk. Constantly monitoring our walking pattern is a way to examine our health because the central nervous system is involved intensively to control the limb movements and the function of posture control while our body is moving.”
Liu et al2021, Frontiers in Computer Science
Gait Analysis
Currently, clinical gait analysis occurs in clinics / laboratories using expensive and time-consuming equipment.
Remote monitoring of patients with wearables has a growing evidence base and use as part of an intelligent healthcare approach.
The measurement of walking movement patterns with wearable technology can be diagnostic for a range of disease conditions, can indicate progress of rehabilitation, and can provide immediate feedback to patients for gait retraining and self-management.
“Wearable sensors, … provide a low-cost, portable solution for obtaining functional measures similar to those captured with three dimensional gait analysis”
Bolam et al2021, Sensors
“In the future, they could potentially detect a serious medical condition before physical symptoms manifest”
Vice President and Head of Global Digital Strategy at Bristol Myers Squibb
