A new report from Alma Mater University in Bologna, Italy, explores the impact of neurological health conditions such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, and severe traumatic brain injury on gait and mobility. The study involved 60 individuals with neurological disorders and 20 healthy participants. The researchers used inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors to measure spatiotemporal parameters and gait quality indices during various motor tasks. The findings revealed that individuals with stroke exhibited compromised biomechanical patterns, including lower walking speed, increased stride duration, and decreased stride frequency, as well as less gait symmetry and smoothness. The study provides valuable insights into the dynamic stability, symmetry, and smoothness of gait in people with neurological health conditions. [Extracted from the article] |
