Self-selected speed provides more accurate human gait kinematics and spatiotemporal parameters than overground simulated speed on a treadmill: a cross-sectional study
These findings underscore the importance of individualized speed selection in gait analysis, as it significantly impacts the accuracy of kinematic and spatiotemporal measurements. This insight is pivotal for clinicians and researchers to develop more effective rehabilitation strategies and comprehensively understand gait dynamics.
