Agreement between the GAITRite (R) System and the Wearable Sensor BTS G-Walk (R) for measurement of gait parameters in healthy adults and Parkinson's disease patients
Original language description
Background. Nowadays, the most widely used types of wearable sensors in gait analysis are inertial sensors. The aim of the study was to assess the agreement between two different systems for measuring gait parameters (inertial sensor vs. electronic walkway) on healthy control subjects (HC) and patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods. Forty healthy volunteers (26 men, 14 women, mean age 58.7 +/- 7.7 years) participated in the study and 24 PD patients (19 men, five women, mean age 62.7 +/- 9.8 years). Each participant walked across an electronic walkway, GAITRite, with embedded pressure sensors at their preferred walking speed. Concurrently a G-Walk sensor was attached with a semi-elastic belt to the L5 spinal segment of the subject. Walking speed, cadence, stride duration, stride length, stance, swing, single support and double support phase values were compared between both systems. Results. The Passing-Bablock regression slope line manifested the values closest to 1.00 for cadence and stride duration (0.99 <= 1.00) in both groups. The slope of other parameters varied between 0.26 (double support duration in PD) and 1.74 (duration of single support for HC). The mean square error confirmed the best fit of the regression line for speed, stride duration and stride length. The y-intercepts showed higher systematic error in PD than HC for speed, stance, swing, and single support phases. Conclusions. The final results of this study indicate that the G-Walk system can be used for evaluating the gait characteristics of the healthy subjects as well as the PD patients. However, the duration of the gait cycle phases should be used with caution due to the presence of a systematic error.
