| Popis: | Objectives Validation of an infrared healthcare technology aimed at measuring gait speed in older adults. Design Validation study. Setting Geriatric Department Participants 90 patients from the Falls Unit of the Geriatrics Department for the validation assessment, and 5,328 patients of the Outpatient Clinic under usual care conditions for technology validation. Measurements Walking speed was measured manually with a stopwatch as part of the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), using the GAITRite™ (first, second and mean of 5 walks) and with the Walkway system. Agreement was determined with the Bland-Altman method. Results Mean gait speed with the SPPB, GAITRite™ (first, second and mean of 5 walks) and Walkway were 0.68 m/s, 0.77 m/s, 0.81 m/s, 0.71 m/s, and 0.70 m/s respectively. Pearson correlations between the Walkway system and SPPB, GAITRite™ first walk, GAITRite™ second walk, and GAITRite™ mean of 5 walks were 0.822 (p Conclusions The Walkway system presented is a valid, easy-to-use, self-implemented device for walking speed measurement in usual clinical practice with older adults. |
