Thigh-Worn Sensor for Measuring Initial and Final Contact During Gait in a Mobility Impaired Population: Validation Study

The TKEO method for gait event detection using AP4 data provides stance time durations that are comparable with laboratory-based systems in a population with chronic stroke. Providing accurate stance time durations from wearable sensors could extend gait training out of clinical environments. Limitations include ecological and external validity. Future work should confirm findings with a larger sample of participants with a history of stroke.
