The Reliability of a Wearable Inertial System in Healthy Adults.

Gait analysis is an effective tool used for a variety of purposes, including assessing neurological diseases, risk of falling, orthopedic disability and progress during rehabilitation.The analysis of gait and jump performance must be applicable in a clinical setting. Thus; it needs to be easy to apply in a variety of life situations.The measurements should be reproducible, stable, accurate, capable of distinguishing between normal and abnormal conditions, and cost-effective. Jump measures can predict injury risks, serve as talent identification, and replicate explosive competitive activities of athletes. Furthermore, the performance in vertical jumping can be associated with neuromuscular fatigue.The purpose of this study was to confirm the test-retest reliability of the G-walk wearable sensor system for gait and jump parameters in healthy adults.
