New Study: Measurement Accuracy of the PABLO® Gait Assessment

Clinical gait analysis is an objective tool to precisely measure the parameters required to select the most effective therapeutic interventions for gait improvement. Objective data on a patient’s gait helpstherapist plan, monitor, and evaluate therapy progress.

A new publication from Jocham et al. (2024) delves into the measurement accuracy of PABLO®, offering user-friendly foot-mounted inertial measurement units (IMUs) for gait analysis in clinical settings. The first part of the study, published in 2021 by Laidig et al., validated the spatiotemporal gait parameters. The recent publication now validated foot position and angle trajectories

 

 

Highlights:

  • Easy-to-use gait analysis using one foot-mounted IMU for each foot.
  • Does not require precise IMU attachment, calibration movements, or magnetometer data.
  • Position and angle trajectories in all planes are determined with high accuracy.
  • Same measurement accuracy for normal walking and pathological gait patterns.
  • Enables non-restrictive, detailed gait analysis in everyday clinical practice.
  •  

 

Both publications affirm that IMU-based gait analysis is not just accurate but feasible for clinical practice. It offers a user-friendly alternative to expensive optical motion capture systems, paving the way for a more accessible and convenient future of gait analysis in clinical practice.
