Figures

Figure 1
Intra-bout gait variability of gait velocity. Continuous data was collected for example patient Mr. R using a chest-based wearable sensor, over a single walking bout of 12 minutes duration. Gait velocity for each gait cycle was analyzed to construct an Intra-Bout Gait Variability Curve of moving average trendline per 100 gait cycles.
Figure 2
Figure 2
Intra-bout gait variability of cadence. Continuous data was collected for example patient Mr. R using a chest-based wearable sensor, over a single walking bout of 12 minutes duration. Cadence for each gait cycle was analyzed to construct an Intra-Bout Gait Variability Curve of moving average trendline per 100 gait cycles.
