Toward Unsupervised Capacity Assessments for Gait in Neurorehabilitation: Validation Study

Unsupervised gait capacity assessments offer a reliable alternative to supervised assessments in a clinical environment, showing comparable results for gait speed, stride length, and cadence, with no differences in overall motivation between the two. Future work should build upon these findings to extend unsupervised assessment of both capacity and performance in home environments. Such assessments could allow improved and more specific tracking of rehabilitation progress across the continuum of care.
