---|---|---|---|---|
Duration [s] |
Accelerometer/Gyroscope | Total duration of the test | ||
Cadence [steps/min] | Accelerometer | Cadence in the phase of the gait | ||
SD Cadence | Accelerometer | Standard deviation of the Cadence | ||
NJS AP ML V [m] [35,54] |
Accelerometer | The Normalized Jerk Score during gait is computed for each step (i.e., between two consecutive heel strikes), then normalized to the step duration, and then averaged across all steps |
||
PCI [35,57] [-] |
Accelerometer | Phase Coordination Index (PCI). PCI measures gait coordination (i.e., the accuracy and consistency of the phase generation). φi is the ith phase, which measures the step time with respect to the stride time assigning 360° to each stride (gait cycle): |
||
Range AP ML V [m/s2] |
Accelerometer | Range of the signal | ||
RMS AP ML V [m/s2] |
Accelerometer | Root Mean Square (RMS) of the signal, s (it is a measure of dispersion): |
||
Reg [10] AP ML V [10] [-] |
Accelerometer | Step and Stride regularity measured by means of the unbiased estimate of the autocorrelation function of the signal s: First dominant period (Ad1) of the autocorrelation coefficient is an expression of the step regularity. Second dominant period (Ad2) of the autocorrelation coefficient is an expression of the Stride regularity |
ACRONYMS: AP: Antero-Posterior; ML: Medio-Lateral; NJS: Normalized Jerk Score; PCI: Phase Coordination Index; Reg: Regularity; RMS: Root Mean Square; SD: Standard Deviation; V: Vertical.
